Effects of magnetic stimulation on urodynamic stress incontinence refractory to pelvic floor muscle training in a randomized sham‐controlled study

Abstract

Magnetic stimulation was effective in treating urodynamic stress incontinence.

The effectiveness of magnetic stimulation for patients with pelvic floor dysfunction: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

“…Only one trial included erectile dysfunction intervened by MS. The mean ages of the participants included in the studies ranged from 10.8 to 66, and one study did not report the mean age of the patients. The follow‐up time varied from 2 weeks to 56 weeks, and follow‐up was limited in the majority of included studies.…”

“…Finally, 20 RCTs met all eligibility criteria and were selected for this systematic review. [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41]…”

“…Included studies were published between 2000 and 2017. Six RCTs 24,25,27,29,31,35 were conducted in Japan. Three RCTs 22,23,39 were conducted in Slovenia.…”

“…Six RCTs 26,30,[32][33][34]41 were performed in New Zealand, Italy, Malaysia, United States, Switzerland, Germany, respectively. Eleven trials [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32] reported UI intervened by MS, which included five studies 24,26,30,31,32 with stress UI, three studies 25,27,29 with urge UI, and one study 23 with mixed UI. Two studies 33,34 included participants with chronic pelvic pain intervened by MS. Two studies 35,36 reported DO intervened by MS. Two studies 37,38 reported OAB intervened by MS. Two studies 39,40 reported patients intervened by MS with NE.…”

“…Two studies 28,33 utilized static MS. Three studies 32,38,41 performed using by pulsed MS. Extracorporeal G1>G2/G1<G2 indicates that the difference between the two groups was statistically significant, P < 0.05; G1 = G2 indicates that no significant difference was noted between the two groups, P | 2373 magnetic induction therapy and repetitive MS were adopted in two studies, 36,40 respectively. Remaining studies 24,25,29,31,37 did not document specific methods of MS. The frequency of MS was between 5 Hz and 50 Hz, however, one study 33 did not document the frequency of intervention in the experimental group.…”
