Analyze Study On Efficacy Of Biofeedback And Electrical Stimulation Therapy For Female Overactive Bladder

Objectives: To analyze the efficacy of biofeedback-assisted pelvic floor muscle training(BAPFMT),electrical stimulation-assisted pelvic floor muscle training (ESAPFMT), pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) and drug therapy for overactive bladder (OAB) in female.Method: 83 female patients with OAB were randomly divided into A, B, C and D groups to be treated with BAPFMT, ESAPFMT, PFMD and orally taking tolterodine as drug therapy respectively. Using the urine diaries and AUA urinary symptoms scores to evaluate the efficacy of each therapy for OAB.Result: By evaluating the clinical effects of each therapy according to the patients' post-treatment symptoms, the results demonstrated that the effective rate and cure rate were 69.6% and 30.4% in group A, 70.8% and 37.5% in group B, 38.9% and 16.7% in group C, 61.1% and 27.8% in group D respectively. The effective rates of both groups A and B were higher than group C (P<0.05), while there was no difference among groups A, B and D. Comparing the scores of AUA urinary symptoms before and after treatment in each group, the results showed the four therapies all have a significant efficacy for OAB(P<0.05). Among four groups, the improvements of clinical symptoms of groups A and B were much higher than group C (P<0.05) but there was no statistically significant difference between groups A B and D(P<0.05).Conclusion: All of the four treatments of BAPFMT, ESAPFMT, PFMD and orally taking tolterodine have the efficacy for female's overactive bladder (OAB), the efficacy of combined behavioral treatments is more effective than behavioral treatment for overactive bladder (OAB) in female individually.
