Abstract
Seventeen women with stress and 20 with motor-urge urinary incontinence were treated ambulatorily with short-term maximal electrical stimulation. The duration of the treatment was 20 min daily for 12 weeks. According to the patients'' subjective evaluation, two thirds were improved. A markedly diminished leakage of urine (> 50% by use of pad test) was found in 6 out of 17 women with stress, and in 13 out of 20 women with motor-urge urinary incontinence. Therefore were no significant differences observed in urodynamic parameters between the registrations performed before and after the present electrical stimulation therapy.
