Publisher: | Springer London Ltd | Abstract: | Introduction and hypothesis This study aims to compare the effectiveness of intravaginal electrical stimulation (IVES) with regard to quality of life (QoL) and clinical parameters related to incontinence in women with idiopathic overactive bladder (iOAB) naive or refractory to treatment with pharmacological agents (PhA).Methods In this prospective trial, PhA-naive women were included in Group 1 (n = 24) and women with PhA-resistant iOAB were included in Group 2 (n = 24). IVES was performed 3 days a week, with a total of 24 sessions for 8 weeks. Every session lasted 20 minutes. Women were evaluated for the severity of incontinence (24-hour pad test), pelvic floor muscle (PFM) strength (perineometer), 3-day voiding diary (frequency of voiding, nocturia, incontinence episodes, and the number of pads), symptom severity (OAB-V8), quality of life (IIQ-7), treatment success (positive response rate), cure/improvement rate, and treatment satisfaction.Results A statistically significant improvement was found in all parameters for each group at the 8th week compared to the baseline values (p < 0.05). At the 8th week, there were no statistically significant differences in the severity of incontinence, PFM strength, incontinence episodes, nocturia, number of pads, QoL, treatment satisfaction, cure-improvement, or positive response rates between the two groups (p > 0.05). It was found that the frequency of voiding and symptom severity parameters were significantly more improved in Group 1 than in Group 2 (p < 0.05).Conclusions Although IVES was more effective in PhA-naive women with iOAB, it also appears to be an effective treatment in the management of women with PhA-resistant iOAB. | URI: | https://doi.org/10.1007/s00192-023-05517-1 https://hdl.handle.net/11499/51029 |
