About

To examine the effect of electromagnetic stimulation combined with visceral manipulation on stress urinary incontinence in postmenopausal women

Full description

According to the authors' knowledge, no prior studies that included MS with a VMT maneuvers to improve the success rates of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) treatment. Consequently, the purpose of this study was to assess the effect of electromagnetic field stimulation with VMT and PFMT in treatment of postmenopausal women with SUI.

Enrollment: 50 patients

Sex: Female

Ages: 50 to 66 years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

Fifty postmenopausal women suffering from SUI with grades mild to moderate, were referred from........Hospital after SUI diagnosis confirmation with urodynamics. They were selected from outpatient clinic of department of physical therapy for Women's Health of the faculty of Physical Therapy, Cairo university. The inclusion criteria included sedentary and medically stable postmenopausal women, with age range of 50 to 66 years old.
