Latest Research on Incontinence and Pelvic Floor Therapies

Title	Synopsis
A self-directed home biofeedback system for women with symptoms of stress, urge, and mixed incontinence	American researchers demonstrate that self directed home biofeedback is an effective treatment for urge, stress, and mixed incontinence. Note please that Deschutes Medical is the manufacturer of the Myself device.
Increase in pelvic floor muscle activity after 12 weeks' training: a randomized prospective pilot study	Finish researchers show that biofeedback training is much more effective than pelvic floor exercises alone for incontinent women.
Long-term efficacy of nonsurgical urinary incontinence treatment in elderly women	American research demonstrating the effectiveness of non-surgical treatment of incontinence in older females.
Behavioral intervention: the first-line treatment for women with urinary incontinence	American researchers recommend behavioral therapies as first line of treatment for urinary incontinence.
The effect of home biofeedback training on stress incontinence	Finish researchers demonstrate 12% greater success in reduction in incontinence for women using pelvic floor home training with biofeedback devices vs. traditional pelvic floor exercises without biofeedback.
A randomized prospective study comparing new vaginal cone and FES-Biofeedback	Korean researchers demonstrate similar effectiveness of Functional Electrical Stimulation and Weighted vaginal cones.
Evaluating the performance of pelvic floor exercises in women with urinary incontinence	American researchers demonstrate the effectiveness of biofeedback training on improving the ability of women to perform kegel exercises correctly.
