Abstract Background To investigate the effect of pelvic floor exercises at home and electrical stimulation plus biofeedback in hospital in management of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) primiparas in short-term postpartum period. Methods A total of 150 SUI primiparas at postpartum 6-8 weeks were interviewed. According to participants’ willingness and necessary coordination, the subjects were divided into 2 groups including the treatment group (n=69) and the control group (n=81). The treatment group received at-home pelvic floor muscle training(PFMT) every day and in-hospital electrical stimulation plus biofeedback therapy twice a week for consecutive 5 weeks (from 6-8 postpartum weeks to 11-13 postpartum weeks). The control group was not given pelvic floor exercise at home or in hospital. The PFM strength in the two groups was measured by specially trained personnel using digital palpation (Modified Oxford scale:0-5 grade) and surface electromyography(sEMG) in 6-8 postpartum weeks and in 11-13 postpartum weeks. For statistical analysis, t -test,Chi-square analysis and Wilcoxon test were carried out. Results The recovery rate of SUI in the treatment group was 63.8% (44/69), which was higher than that in the control group (12.3%,10/81) ( p <0.05). In the treatment group, the PFM strength was higher after PFMT than that before PFMT no matter measured by digital palpation or by sEMG ( p <0.05); but in the control group, it had no change at postpartum 6-8 weeks and at postpartum about 12 weeks ( p >0.05). Conclusion: The combination treatment of at-home PFM training and in-hospital electrical stimulation plus biofeedback PFM therapy is an effective method to manage SUI and improve PFM strength in short-time postpartum.

Background: Patients with brachial plexus avulsion (BPA) usually experience phantom sensations and phantom limb pain (PLP) in the deafferented limb. It has been suggested that evoking the sensation of touch in the deafferented limb by stimulating referred sensation areas (RSAs) on the cheek or shoulder might alleviate PLP. However, feasible rehabilitation techniques using this approach have not been reported. Objective: The present study sought to examine the analgesic effects of simple electrical stimulation of RSAs in BPA patients with PLP. Methods: Study 1: Electrical stimulation of RSAs for 60 minutes was conducted for six BPA patients suffering from PLP to examine short-term analgesic effects. Study 2: A single case design experiment was conducted with two BPA patients to investigate whether electrical stimulation of RSAs was more effective for alleviating PLP than control electrical stimulation (electrical stimulation of sites on side opposite to the RSAs), and to elucidate the long-term effects of electrical stimulation of RSAs. Results: Study 1: Electrical stimulation of RSAs evoked phantom touch sensations in the deafferented limb, and significantly alleviated PLP (p <  0.05). Study 2: PLP was alleviated more after electrical stimulation on RSAs compared with control electrical stimulation (p <  0.05). However, the analgesic effects of electrical stimulation on RSAs were observed only in the short term, not in the long term (p >  0.05). Conclusions: Electrical stimulation of RSAs not only evoked phantom touch sensation but also alleviated PLP in the short term. The results indicate that electrical stimulation of RSAs may provide a useful practical rehabilitation technique for PLP. Future studies will be required to clarify the mechanisms underlying immediate PLP alleviation via electrical stimulation of RSAs.

Background: Percutaneous electrical stimulation and transcutaneous electrical stimulation (PTNS and TTNS) of the posterior tibial nerve are internationally recognized treatment methods that offer advantages in terms of treating patients with overactive bladder (OAB) who present with urinary incontinence (UI). This article aims to analyze the scientific evidence for the treatment of OAB with UI in adults using PTNS versus TTNS procedures in the posterior tibial nerve. Methods: A systematic review was conducted, between February and May 2021 in the Web of Science and Scopus databases, in accordance with the PRISMA recommendations. Results: The research identified 259 studies, 130 of which were selected and analyzed, with only 19 used according to the inclusion requirements established. The greatest effectiveness, in reducing UI and in other parameters of daily voiding and quality of life, was obtained by combining both techniques with other treatments, pharmacological treatments, or exercise. Conclusions: TTNS has advantages over PTNS as it is more comfortable for the patient even though there is equality of both therapies in the outcome variables. More research studies are necessary in order to obtain clear scientific evidence.
