Effect of a Peripheral Neuromodulation Protocol Combined with the Application of Therapeutic Exercise in Patients Diagnosed with Urinary Incontinence—A Study Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial
Overactive bladder (OAB) and urinary incontinence (UI) are prevalent, particularly in older adults, and affect quality of life. OAB involves urgency, frequency, nocturia, and urgency incontinence, often linked to involuntary detrusor contractions. Treatment guidelines recommend a stepwise approach,...

| Sumario: | Overactive bladder (OAB) and urinary incontinence (UI) are prevalent, particularly in older adults, and affect quality of life. OAB involves urgency, frequency, nocturia, and urgency incontinence, often linked to involuntary detrusor contractions. Treatment guidelines recommend a stepwise approach, starting with pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT), followed by pharmacological or minimally invasive therapies, such as neuromodulation. However, the combined effects of PFMT and neuromodulation have not been well established. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of combining pelvic floor exercises with neuromodulation versus PFMT with sham neuromodulation or standard physiotherapy after a 12-week intervention in individuals with OAB and UI. |
