This review article aims at finding papers comparing conventional treatment with new interventions in females affected with Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI). Therefore, we selected papers with exercise therapy and Electrical Stimulation (ES) compared with vibration therapy. Materials and Methods: We searched PubMed, Scopus, Ovid, and Springer for the papers published in English and the field of human-study registered from 2009 to 2019. The articles should be about Pelvic Floor Muscle Training (PFMT), Electrical Stimulation (ES), and new intervention like vibration in the treatment of SUI. Results: We managed to identify 1276 articles on this topic. After deleting duplicate articles, we chose 22 of them. Based on the inclusion criteria, only 7 articles were finally included in this review article. PFMT and ES are conventional treatments, but some studies have focused on the efficiency of new modalities, such as vibration in the treatment of SUI. Discussion: Based on our review, new intervention (vibration) has superior effects over ES and PFMT in the treatment of SUI; however, ES and PFMT are the first line of therapy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
