Intravaginal Vibratory Stimulus and Pelvic Floor Muscle Training

Intravaginal Vibratory Stimulus and Pelvic Floor Muscle Training to Treat Female Urinary Incontinence: a Randomized Clinical Trial

This is a randomized blinded trial with non-probabilistic sampling for convenience. Our goal is to compare PFMT with intravaginal vibratory stimulus versus PFMT alone on the treatment of female urinary incontinence.

This is a randomized blinded trial with non-probabilistic sampling for convenience. Our goal is to compare PFMT with intravaginal vibratory stimulus versus PFMT alone on the treatment of female urinary incontinence. Women with an indication for conservative treatment of urinary incontinence will be referred to the Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy Team by the Medical Team of the Ambulatory of Urogynecology and Obstetrics of the Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre and those who are in compliance with the inclusion criteria proposed for the research will be invited to participate in the study.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Women with urinary incontinence;
• Know how to perform a voluntary pelvic floor muscle contraction;
• Have not undergone pelvic floor muscle training in the last 6 months;
• Understand the instruments used in research.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Latex allergy;
• Neurological diseases;
• Pelvic organ prolapse > grade 2;
• Pain during vaginal palpation and / or introduction of the vaginal probe;
• Vaginal atrophy;
