Pelvic floor rehabilitation in the treatment of mixed urinary incontinence among women
Abstract Background Mixed urinary incontinence (MUI) is a common underreported problem among females; it has a major effect on patients’ quality of life. Treatment may be difficult since a single modality cannot be enough to alleviate both the urge and the stress symptoms. Biofeedback-assisted pelvi...

There are no previous studies that assessed the efficacy of biofeedback-assisted pelvic floor muscle training versus two different types of peripheral neuromodulation which are transcutaneous posterior tibial nerve stimulation (TPTNS) and anogenital neuromodulation in the treatment of mixed urinary incontinence among women. The aim of this work is to study the effectiveness of biofeedback-assisted pelvic floor muscle training with electrostimulation versus two different methods of peripheral neuromodulation techniques in the treatment of women with MUI. Patients were subjected to history taking, assessment questionnaires (Questionnaire for female Urinary Incontinence Diagnosis (QUID), Australian Pelvic Floor Questionnaire (PFQ), and International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Urinary Incontinence-Short Form (ICIQ-UI-SF)), clinical examination, and manometric pressure assessment. The patients were allocated randomly into three groups.

Significant improvement was noticed in the three studied groups on the subjective and objective levels. No statistically significant difference was reported between the studied groups following the different types of intervention.
