Electrical stimulation plus biofeedback improves urination function, pelvic floor function, and distress after reconstructive surgery: a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study is aimed at assessing the effect of postoperative electrical stimulation (ES) plus biofeedback therapy on patient rehabilitation after pelvic floor reconstructive surgery.

Methods

Patients with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) who had received pelvic floor reconstructive surgery were randomly allocated to the intervention group and the control group at a 1:1 ratio. Patients in the control group received routine postoperative nursing care. Patients in the intervention group underwent ES plus biofeedback therapy. The outcomes included the recovery of urination function, the improvement of pelvic floor muscle (PFM) strength, and the change of Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory Questionnaire-20 (PFDI-20) scores. The study outcomes were evaluated at pre-intervention (T
