Overview

Prospective cohort study finds device-assisted training improves urinary control and orgasmic function in women with SUI, suggesting enhanced treatment options.

Key Points

  • The study aimed to compare the effects of device-assisted PFMT with conventional Kegel exercises on urinary and orgasmic outcomes in women with SUI.
  • Conducted as a prospective, non-randomized cohort study.
  • Participants were aged 43.1 ± 8.3 years (Pelvix®) and 38.4 ± 8.6 years (Kegel).
  • Both groups used standardized questionnaires and followed different training protocols over 10 to 12 weeks.
  • Significant improvements in ICIQ-UI SF and PISQ-IR scores were seen in both groups (all p < 0.001).
  • Mean reduction in incontinence severity was greater in the Pelvix® group (ΔICIQ = -5.4) compared to Kegel (ΔICIQ = -3.9; p = 0.03).
  • Pelvix® cohort showed higher increase in orgasmic function (ΔPISQ = +2.2) compared to Kegel (ΔPISQ = +1.6; p = 0.04).
