Abstract EN
Objective : To compare and evaluate interferential therapy and pelvic floor exercises for treatment of stress incontinence in women.
Methodology : Forty female patients with stress urinary incontinence were randomized to treatment with either interferential therapy (group I) or pelvic-floor exercises (group II) Patients were assessed with subjective response, provocation test and urethral pressure profile.
Results : The subjective improvement or cure rates were 60% in group I and 75% in group II.
According to the provocation test, 55% of the patients in group I and 65% of the patients in group II were either cured or improved.
The maximum urethral closure pressure was significantly increased after treatment in both groups.
Conclusion : Interferential therapy and pelvic floor exercises are both effective means of treatment of stress incontinence in women.
