Validation of the Fecal Incontinence Severity Index in a Turkish Population

AIM: Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by both motor and non-motor symptoms. Pelvic floor dysfunction due to autonomic disorders are common in this population. The purpose of this case report is to assess the early and long-term effects of comprehensive pelvic physiotherapy on autonomic dysfunction in a woman with Parkinson's disease. MATERIAL AND METHOD: Bladder diary, Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-20, Overactive Bladder Questionnaire, Incontinence Severity Index, Incontinence Impact Questionnaire- short form, and PERFECT scheme were evaluated at baseline, immediately after the 12-week comprehensive pelvic physiotherapy program, and after 1-year follow-up. RESULTS: Improvements were detected in all parameters in the short term and maintained in the long term. CONCLUSION: We think that a comprehensive pelvic physiotherapy program is an effective method that can non-invasively improve the symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction and quality of life seen in Parkinson's disease.
