To investigate the clinical effect of pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) plus biofeedback electrical stimulation (BES) on stress urinary incontinence (SUI).
110 patients with SUI admitted to our hospital in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology from November 2018 to November 2019 were selected and divided into control group (n=55) and study group (n=55). The study group received PFMT plus BES while the control group received PFMT alone.
Compared with the control group, the incontinence quality of life (I-QOL) score and the international consultation on incontinence questionnaire-urinary incontinence short form (ICI-Q-SF) score in the study group were significantly better (P<0.05), and the patients had better pelvic floor muscle endurance, strength, and coordination (P<0.05).
PFMT plus BES could improve the strength, endurance, and coordination of pelvic floor muscles in SUI patients. It can positively influence the improvement of the I-QOL and ICI-Q-SF scores.
The name of the registry: Chinese Registry of Clinical Trials.
