Neuromuscular Re-eduaction, Exercise and Electric Dry Needling vs. Neuromuscular Re-education and Exercise for Stress Urinary Incontinence
Stopped early · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Stress Urinary Incontinence
In brief
The purpose of this research is to compare two different approaches for treating patients with stress urinary incontinence: neuromuscular re-education, impairment-based exercise and electric dry needling versus neuromuscular re-education and impairment-based exercise. Physical therapists commonly use all of these techniques to treat stress urinary incontinence. This study is attempting to find out if one treatment strategy is more effective than the other.
