About this study

This study is aimed at women's pelvic floor muscles, especially urinary incontinence caused by pelvic floor muscle relaxation or pelvic prolapse, to observe whether the use of (HIFEM) high-intensity focused magnetic energy chairs can help the pelvic floor muscles after this treatment Strengthening to improve the symptoms of urinary incontinence caused by the compression of the sacral nerve plexus caused by the downward movement of the uterus, thereby improving the social life and quality of life of the patient.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic therapyDevice

    Also called EMSELLA

    The HPM-6000UF is a non-invasive therapeutic device. The device produces electromagnetic field that interacts with the tissues of the human body.

    The electromagnetic field delivered in the muscular or neuronal tissue area is triggering the stimulation and tonisation.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Urodynamic study

    Urodynamic testing is any procedure that looks at how well parts of the lower urinary tract-the bladder, sphincters, and urethra-work to store and release urine. Most urodynamic tests focus on how well your bladder can hold and empty urine. Urodynamic tests can also show whether your bladder is contracting when it's not supposed to, causing urine to leak.

    Measured: One hour

  2. Questionnaire

    Female Sexual Function Index, International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire, Urogenital Distress Inventory-6, Incontinence Impact Questionnaire-7, The International Consultation on Incontinence, Pelvic Organ Prolapse Distress Inventory-6, Overactive Bladder Symptom Score, The global response assessment.

    Measured: fifteen minutes

  3. Physiological parameter

    Age, BMI in kg/m^2, Pregnancy and childbirth, Year of Symptoms

    Measured: five minutes
