Abstrakt: Background: Urinary incontinence (UI) is a common dysfunction of the pelvic floor, affecting 10-20% of all women, and up to 70% in the elderly general prevalence of 17% 20-year-old women and 38% in women over 60 years. It is estimated that only 25% of patients seek treatment for this debilitating condition.
Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a device based on top flat magnetic stimulation to treat pelvic floor disorders especially female urinary incontinence.
Methods: A total of 33 volunteer patients were divided into 5 groups according to the type of complaint. Subjects received 8 treatment sessions, with a frequency of twice a week with two different settings. Pelvic Floor Bother Questionnaire (PFBQ), Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Function Questionnaire (PISQ-12) and Urinary Incontinence Short Form (ICIQ-UI-SF) were compiled by all patients at the beginning and after 3 months from the end of the last treatment (3MFU).
Results: The patient's scores from validated Questionnaires significantly decreased (p < 0.01) from baseline up to 3MFU inside most of the groups.
Conclusions: The noninvasiveness and safety of device make this approach an interesting tool as alternative approach for pelvic floor dysfunctions .
