Abstract
Biofeedback training aided by urodynamic instrumentation produced significant clinical improvement in 4 of 8 urological patients. Display of electromyographic activity of periurethral striated muscles was facilitated by use of a new intraurethral catheter with 5 surface mounted electrodes. This modality of treatment appears worth considering for selected patients with urinary retention or urinary incontinence.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
