Journal Title: TMR Non-Drug Therapy - Year 2020, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: To systematically evaluate the effect of pelvic floor muscle training with biofeedback v.s. pelvic floor muscle exercise alone on stress urinary incontinence in women. Methods: PubMed, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Ovid, Ebsco, PEDro, WanFang Data, VIP and CNKI databases were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials that meet inclusion criteria. After quality assessment, meta-analysis was conducted by RevMan 5.3 software. Results: A total of 8 randomized controlled trials were included. The results of meta-analysis supported the effectiveness of biofeedback on improving pelvic floor muscle strength (MD = 4.67, 95% CI (1.86, 7.49), P = 0.001), increasing short (up to 1 hour) pad test (SMD = −1.11, 95% CI (−1.84, −0.37), P = 0.003), enhancing quality of life (SMD = −0.34, 95% CI (−0.67, −0.01), P = 0.04) and social activity index (MD = 0.1, 95% CI (0.06, 0.15), P < 0.001). Conclusion: Pelvic floor muscle training with biofeedback could improve pelvic floor muscles’ strength and help these patients integrate into society, more high quality studies are required to verify above conclusions.
