Fifty-six patients 5.9-15.2 years old with dysfunctional elimination syndrome (DES) unimproved by previous therapies were randomly distributed into two voiding training programs: group 1 contained 26 patients submitted to 24 training sessions over a 3-month period; group 2 contained 30 patients submitted to 16 sessions over a 2-month period. Both groups adhered to a voiding and drinking schedule, received instruction on adequate toilet posture, were reinforced through the maintenance of voiding diaries, and went through proprioceptive and pelvic floor muscle training (Kegel exercises). Group 2 patients also received biofeedback therapy. Clinical evaluation was carried out before each program's initiation and 1, 6, and 12 months after each program's termination. All patients were submitted to renal ultrasonography and dynamic ultrasonography before and 6 months after each program's conclusion. Millivoltage recordings of pelvic floor muscles were compared before and after training. Urinary continence was improved after completion of either training program. Only those patients who received biofeedback training showed a significant decrease in postvoiding residual (PVR) urine as detected by dynamic ultrasonography. Our results show that either training regime can reduce episodic urinary incontinence and urinary tract infection but that further study is required to identify the optimal training duration.
reSumo objetivos: Verificar a prevalência de sintomas depressivos em mulheres com câncer de mama e identificar os fatores de risco associados à sua ocorrência. métodos: Foi realizado um estudo transversal, em que foram entrevistadas 71 mulheres com câncer de mama. Foram empregados dois instrumentos: um questionário para verificar os dados sociodemográficos e clínicos e o Inventário de Depressão de Beck -Short Form (BDI-SF), para avaliação dos sintomas depressivos. Para análise dos dados, utilizaram-se medidas descritivas e o teste de quiquadrado, que avaliou a associação entre variáveis sociodemográficas e clínicas e os sintomas depressivos. O nível de significância considerado foi de 5%. resultados: A prevalência de sintomas depressivos foi de 29,6%. Os fatores associados à presença desses sintomas foram o tratamento quimioterápico (p = 0,021), presença de dor (p = 0,018) e limitação do movimento do membro superior (p = 0,010) e pior percepção da saúde (p = 0,018). conclusão: Sintomas depressivos são frequentes no câncer de mama, assim a saúde mental das mulheres com esse tipo de câncer deve ser investigada e tratada quando necessário, reduzindo o impacto desses sintomas na vida da mulher.
| This review aimed to assess the capabilities and effectiveness of pelvic floor rehabilitation in the treatment of genital prolapse and urinary incontinence. The research was conducted in MEDLINE/PubMed, LILACS/ SciELO and Cochrane Library. There were found 886 articles, of which were used 34 relevant clinical trials that answered the questions constructed by the authors. The studies analyzed showed that pelvic floor training can be used in prolapse treatment, but further randomized studies are necessary to support this evidence. For urinary incontinence pelvic floor, rehabilitation is effective and should be the treatment of first choice.Keywords | rehabilitation; pelvic floor; women; prolapse; urinary incontinence.
