long term effects of pelvic floor muscle training with Vaginal Cone in post menopausal women with urinary incontinence a randomized controlled trial
Neurourology and Urodynamics, 2013Co-Authors: Vanessa Santos Pereira, M V De Melo, Grasiela Nascimento Correia, Patricia DriussoAbstract:Aims: The findings are limited about the long-term effects of treatment with Vaginal Cones in women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI). The aim of this study was to investigate the long-term effects of Vaginal Cones and pelvic floor muscle training in post-menopausal women with SUI. Methods: This randomized controlled trial included 45 post-menopausal women with SUI. They were randomly allocated in three groups: Vaginal Cones (VC, n ¼ 15), pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT, n ¼ 15), and control group (CG, n ¼ 15). Women in VC and PFMT groups were treated for 6 weeks with twice weekly sessions. Women in VC group carried out the pelvic floor muscle strengthening with Vaginal Cones. The CG did not receive any treatment during the corresponding time. Women were evaluated before treatment, at the end, 3 and 12 months after treatment completion for primary outcome (urinary leakage) and secondary outcomes (pelvic floor muscle strength, quality of life, satisfaction with treatment, and continuity of training). Results: There was a significant decrease of urinary leakage in the VC and PFMT group comparing values at the end of treatment, 3 and 12 months to baseline values. There were no differences between VC and PFMT group in primary outcome in any evaluations. Conclusions: Treatments with and without Vaginal Cones can promote positive longterm effects on urinary leakage, pelvic floor muscle strength and quality of life in post-menopausal women with SUI in 6 weeks.

Vaginal Cone for postmenopausal women with stress urinary incontinence randomized controlled trial
Climacteric, 2012Co-Authors: Vanessa Santos Pereira, M V De Melo, Grasiela Nascimento Correia, Patricia DriussoAbstract:ABSTRACTObjective To investigate the effect of Vaginal Cones and pelvic floor muscle training (PFTM) in postmenopausal women with stress urinary incontinence.Methods This randomized, controlled study included postmenopausal women, who complained of stress urinary incontinence. Forty-five women were allocated to three groups: a group given therapy with Vaginal Cones (n = 15), a group receiving therapy with PFTM (n = 15), and the control group (n = 15). Subjects in the intervention groups were treated for 6 weeks with twice-weekly sessions of 40 min. Women in the Vaginal Cone group carried out the pelvic floor muscle strengthening with Vaginal Cones. The control group did not receive any treatment during the corresponding time. They were evaluated before, at the end of treatment and 6 weeks after treatment completion for primary outcomes (1-h pad test for urinary loss and pelvic floor muscle pressure) and secondary outcomes (quality of life with King's Health Questionnaire, satisfaction with treatment, and ...

pelvic floor muscle training for urgency urinary incontinence in women a systematic review
International Urogynecology Journal, 2012Co-Authors: Joy A Greer, Ariana L Smith, Lily A AryaAbstract:The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of existing physiotherapy modalities for the treatment of urge urinary incontinence (UUI). A systematic review was performed for primary studies of physiotherapy techniques for UUI published in English between 1996 and August 2010 in major electronic databases. Only randomized clinical trials that reported outcomes separately for women with UUI were included. Outcomes assessed were reduction in UUI, urinary frequency, and nocturia. Data from 13 full-text trials including the modalities of pelvic floor muscles exercises with or without biofeedback, Vaginal electrical stimulation, magnetic stimulation, and Vaginal Cones were analyzed. The methodologic quality of these trials was fair. Significant improvement in UUI was reported for all physiotherapy techniques except Vaginal Cone therapy. There are insufficient data to determine if pelvic physiotherapy improves urinary frequency or nocturia. Evidence suggests that physiotherapy techniques may be beneficial for the treatment of UUI.
