About

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the short-term improvement in urinary incontinence after perineo-sphincter rehabilitation using functional electrostimulation and biofeedback (PHENIX LIBERTY VIVALTIS device) in patients with pelvic statics disorders.

• Does the use of the medical device in the treatment of pelvic static disorders lead to an improvement in urinary incontinence?

Participants will use the medical device, which provides electrical stimulation, biofeedback and pressure biofeedback to re-educate the pelvic floor muscles and improve urinary incontinence.

Full description

Rational :

Urinary incontinence is a condition affecting many women in their adult lives. It is considered a public health problem, and has a high negative impact on patients' quality of life. Physiotherapy-based perineal rehabilitation is considered the first-line treatment for this condition. Treatments consist of pelvic floor muscle exercises (physiotherapy) with or without the use of other resources such as biofeedback, electrical electro-stimulation and vaginal cones.

In this context, the promoter wishes to carry out this study in order to reinforce the data currently available on the medical device PHENIX LIBERTY.

Design:

Prospective, interventional with non invasive and non burdensome procedure, non-comparative, multicenter, open-label study of a CE-marked medical device.

Intervention :

As part of this clinical investigation, the medical device under investigation is used in accordance with its usual use, and the patient's therapeutic procedure includes additional, non-invasive procedures. These additional procedures relate to the addition of an end-of-life visit and validated questionnaires assessing functional deficiencies and impact on daily life.

The care will be conduct as follow:

1 inclusion visit (V0) (from 1 say to 15 days prior the the first functional therapeutic re-education session)
10 sessions of functional therapeutic re-education, during which the PHENIX LIBERTY device may be used. Sessions performed at regular intervals according to a schedule drawn up by the physiotherapist (between 10 and 12 weeks)
1 end visit (V11), 1 week after the 10th session to complet questionnaires

In total, the patient will be followed 15 weeks maximum
