Abstract
Purpose: Overactive Bladder Syndrome (OAB) has symptoms such as urine urgency, excessive urinary frequency, or urge incontinence. These symptoms are most common after partial spinal cord damage. This study was performed to assess the urodynamic effect of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMFT) in the neurogenic overactive bladder following partial spinal cord injury.
Methods: forty patients have overactive bladder post partial spinal cord injury above T12 were evaluated using a urodynamic test and revised urinary incontinence scale (RUIS) patients were divided into 2 groups: - Group (A): twenty patients treated by low-frequency pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMFT) and pelvic floor muscle exercises. Group (B): twenty patients were treated with pelvic floor muscle exercises and placebo PEMFT.
Results: group (A) revealed an increase in urodynamic parameters and a decrease in RUIS score more than group (B).
Conclusion: In individuals with a partial spinal cord injury, pulsed electromagnetic field treatment (PEMFT) has a positive urodynamic impact on an overactive bladder
