Interferential current versus biofeedback results in urinary stress incontinence

The current evidence base indicated that electrical stimulation is probably more effective than no active or sham treatment, but it is not possible to say whether ES is similar to PFMT or other active treatments in effectiveness or not. Overall, the quality of the evidence was too low to provide reliable results. Without sufficiently powered trials measuring clinically important outcomes, such as subjective assessment of urinary incontinence, we cannot draw robust conclusions about the overall effectiveness or cost-effectiveness of electrical stimulation for stress urinary incontinence in women.

Zusammenfassung Etwa neun Millionen Menschen leiden an Inkontinenz. Durch die steigende Lebenserwartung und die abnehmende Geburtenrate kommt es in Deutschland zu einem demografischen Wandel, der die Altersstruktur der Bev?lkerung auch in den n?chsten Jahren stark ver?ndern wird. Aufgrund dessen r?ckt die Bedeutung von Autonomie und Lebensqualit?t im Alter immer mehr ins Blickfeld. Sowohl M?nner als auch Frauen k?nnen von einer Harninkontinenz betroffen sein, wobei Frauen durchschnittlich 1-bis 4-mal h?ufiger daran leiden als M?nner. Mit zunehmendem Alter n?hert sich die H?ufigkeit zwischen den Geschlechtern an. Viele Studien belegen, dass die Lebensqualit?t durch physiotherapeutische Interventionen ma?geblich gebessert werden kann.
