| Popis: | AIM To compare the efficacy of the treatment with transcutaneous perineal electrostimulation versus intracavitary electrostimulation to reduce the frequency of urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy and the impact on the quality of life (QoL). METHODS This single-blind equivalence-randomized controlled trial equally (1:1) randomly allocated men with urinary incontinence post radical prostatectomy into surface electrodes perineal group (intervention group, IG) and intra-anal probe group (control group, CG). Outcomes included changes in the 24h-Pad Test (main variable), and ICIQ-SF (International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Short-Form), SF-12 (Short Form Health Survey), and I-QOL (incontinence quality of life questionnaire) questionnaires. Clinical data were collected at baseline, 6 and 10 weeks. For the comparisons between variables, χ2 test and Student's t test were used. Equivalence was analyzed by estimating the mean change (90% confidence interval) of urinary incontinence based on the Pad Test. The analysis was performed for the per-protocol and the intention-to-treat populations. Statistical significance level was set at p |
