OBJECTIVES: To compare the effectiveness of daily and every-other-day electrical stimulation in treating genuine stress incontinence.
METHODS: Subjects with genuine stress incontinence were enrolled in a multicenter, prospective, nonrandomized study and underwent daily or every-other-day pelvic floor stimulation treatments for 15 minutes twice a day. Outcome measures assessed were (1) leakage episodes and pad count; (2) leakage amount, and (3) subject subjective assessment and quality of life. Thirteen subjects treated daily and 15 treated every other day completed the 20-week protocol. One-year follow-up data were available for 21 subjects.
RESULTS: No significant differences in primary outcome variables were found between the groups. Subjects treated every other day had significant decreases in total leakage episodes (P = 0.04), pad count (P = 0.04), total voids (P = 0.02), and visual analog scale scores, with stress incontinence cured or improved by 50% in 73% (n = 11). Subjects treated every day had significant decreases in urge episodes (P = 0.03), pad count (P = 0.05), and visual analog scale scores, with 62% (n = 8) cured or improved by 50%. Compliance was higher for subjects treated every other day (P = 0.05). Satisfaction with therapy was 75% (n = 10) for daily treatment and 77% (n = 12) for every-other-day treatment. At 1 year, 70% (n = 7) of subjects who continued device use maintained their cure or improvement status.
CONCLUSIONS: Both daily and every-other-day therapy with pelvic floor electrical stimulation are effective in treating genuine stress incontinence. Subjects who continue device use maintain a higher curve or improvement rate.
