About

The purpose of this research is to compare two different approaches for treating patients with stress urinary incontinence: neuromuscular re-education, impairment-based exercise and electric dry needling versus neuromuscular re-education and impairment-based exercise. Physical therapists commonly use all of these techniques to treat stress urinary incontinence. This study is attempting to find out if one treatment strategy is more effective than the other.

Full description

Patients with stress urinary incontinence will be randomized to receive 2 treatment sessions per week for up to 6 weeks (8-12 sessions total) of either: (1) neuromuscular re-education, impairment-based exercise and electric dry needling (2) neuromuscular re-education and impairment-based exercise
