Introduction: BTL EMSELLA™ utilizes High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic technology (HIFEM) to cause deep pelvic floor muscles stimulation and restoration of the neuromuscular control. Key effectiveness is based on focused electromagnetic energy, in-depth penetration and stimulation of the entire pelvic floor area. A single BTL EMSELLA™ session brings thousands of supramaximal pelvic floor muscle contractions, which are extremely important in muscle reeducation of incontinent patients. Objective: Prospective study to evaluate the safety and preliminary effectiveness of the use of BTL EMSELLA magnetic stimulation in urinary incontinence. Method: Thirty-two patients with light and moderate urinary incontinence were recruited to perform 6 sessions of BTL EMSELLA during three weeks of initial treatment. Follow-up after three months. The patients received sessions lasting 28 minutes, completing the different treatment protocols. Initially the patients underwent a quality of life test before and after treatment, evaluation with advanced ultrasound using elastography to measure the initial tissue's elasticity and be able to compare after treatment, clinical functional evaluation and urodynamic test. Results: No adverse reactions were observed. All the patients finished the treatment sessions. Two patients reported increased pain after treatment in the first session corresponding to a VAS scale greater than 5 with duration greater than three hours. The treatment was highly satisfactory in 84,4% of the patients. After the first three months the improvement was maintained in 77% of the patients. No muscle injuries were observed. Elastographic changes and improvement of muscle tone were detected by advanced ultrasound (elastography) in 100% of patients. Conclusions: BTL EMSELLA is safe, well tolerated and effective for the treatment of mild and moderate urinary incontinence. The observed elastographic changes demonstrate the improvement of pelvic floor muscle tone after treatment. A reduction in the symptoms of urinary incontinence was demonstrated. Recommendations: Continue increasing the number of cases for research and increase the variables that we have decided to incorporate in the next research section such as MRI and pressure calculation.

This study aimed to systematize data on the possibility of using extracorporeal magnetic stimulation of the pelvic floor neuromuscular system in urological practice. Materials and methods. Based on the available scientific data and our own clinical cases, information regarding the use of extracorporeal magnetic stimulation in the treatment of urological diseases has been summarized. The historical aspects of the application of magnetic stimulation are presented, along with the physical and biological essence of the method, and indications and contraindications to the procedures. The principles of prescribing extracorporeal magnetic stimulation of the pelvic floor neuromuscular system have also been described in detail, and international and Russian data concerning the clinical application of this method in urological practice have been summarized.

This article was designed to describe the magnetic stimulation technique, its biological and therapeutic effects. Based on the publications in the scientific literature, the currently available data concerning the potential of magnetic stimulation for the combined treatment of somatic disorders and post-operative rehabilitation of the patients are reviewed and discussed with special reference to their application in the pediatric practice. Special attention is given to the use of magnetic therapy for the stimulation of the neuromuscular apparatus of the pelvic floor. Moreover, the article provides information on the innovative medical devices being used to magnetically stimulate neuromuscular tissue of the pelvic floor; their basic technical characteristics are considered.
