Brief summary

The question is whether vesical training and TMAP can be used in isolation without treatment of overactive bladder syndrome? ALSO will be evaluated in urinary symptoms, a function of the MAP, a quality of life and a satisfaction of the women with the treatment offered.

Detailed description

Bladder training includes as resources the educational program, lifestyle modifications, as a strategy to suppress urgency and as programmed urges to improve the control of urgency and incontinence; increase bladder capacity, and thus prolong the intervals between such as urination; giving the patient a confidence in the bladder control. Already, a justification for the use of TMAP is a contraction of the pelvic floor muscles (MAP) inhibits detrusor contraction, improving the symptoms of detrusor overactivity.

Interventions

The patient will participate in a class in which the physiotherapist will provide the following information: on the anatomy and function of the MAP, using figures; on bladder function; guidelines on the positioning and voiding habits and the definition and main risk factors responsible for urinary incontinence. The bladder training will consist of a program of time micturition to increase bladder capacity and the interval between urinations. Urge suppression strategies will be targeted, and include distraction, relaxation, breathing, and MAP contraction (quick flicks).

OTHERTMAP

There will be 36 monthly series of home training (totaling at the end of the 3 months of treatment 108 series) performed 3x / week, 3x / day. The training protocol consists of three daily TMAP series. One series consists of 8 maximum voluntary contractions, with maintenance of the contraction of 6 to 10 seconds (type I muscle fibers), with twice the rest time between contractions, followed by three to five rapid contractions (muscle fibers type II ). The protocol will total 24 contractions of MAP per day performed, which will be divided in the morning (8 contractions), late (8 contractions) and night (8 contractions).

OTHERBladder Training + TMAP

Will perform the exercises of the bladder training group and the TMAP in an associated way.

Inclusion criteria

* Women with IUU and / or IUM with a predominance of urinary urgency, capable of contracting MAPs adequately, and who agree to participate in the study, signing the Informed Consent Form.

Exclusion criteria

* Women with a diagnosis of glaucoma, myasthenia gravis, urinary tract obstruction, neurological and chronic-degenerative diseases, decompensated diabetic patients and patients with complete denervation of the pelvic floor, pregnancy, abnormal genital bleeding, impairment of cognition, inability to fill in the diary voiding, genital dystopias beyond the vaginal introitus and urethral sphincter defect. Patients may not be in use or have used anticholinergics, tricyclic antidepressants or local hormone therapy within the six months prior to the study.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Evaluation of subjective cureAt the end of 3 months of supervised treatmentWe consider it satisfied when the patient does not want another treatment, and dissatisfied when the patient wants another treatment option.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Urinary symptomsAt the initial evaluation of the patient before starting the 3 months of treatmentDuration of urinary symptoms
Pregnancies and deliveriesAt the initial evaluation of the patient before starting the 3 months of treatmentNumber of pregnancies and vaginal deliveries
Pad testAt the initial evaluation of the patient before starting the 3 months of treatment and the end of 3 months of supervised treatmentThe patient will be instructed to empty the bladder and place a preweighed absorbent. Afterwards, the patient will be asked to ingest 500 ml of sodium free (water) liquid during the first 15 minutes of the examination. After the rest period of 1 hour, the patient will be guided to walk for 30 minutes, in which she must climb and descend five flights of stairs for ten consecutive times. Next, a sequence of exercises will be performed: coughing vigorously for 10 times, squatting 10 times, jumping in place 10 times, and washing hands in running water for 1 minute. Once the activities are over, the absorbent will be weighed again to check for urinary loss.
BMIAt the initial evaluation of the patient before starting the 3 months of treatmentWeight and height will be combined to report BMI in kg / m2
Voiding diaryAt the initial evaluation of the patient before starting the 3 months of treatment and the end of 3 months of supervised treatmentPatients should document how many times they go to the restroom during the day and at night, as well as the loss of urine in stressful situations (coughing, sneezing, laughter, squatting, weightlifting, walking, running), changing liner or absorbent and episodes of urgency and urgency-incontinence. The journal shall be held for a consecutive period of 24 hours, for a minimum of three consecutive days.
Quality of lifeAt the initial evaluation of the patient before starting the 3 months of treatment and the end of 3 months of supervised treatmentIncontinence Quality of Life Questionnaire - I-QoL: It is composed of 22 questions organized in three domains. Limitation of human behavior; psychosocial impact; embarrassment and social embarrassment. The values added should vary between 0 and 100 points, and the lower the number obtained the greater the impact of urinary incontinence on quality of life.
MAP functionAt the initial evaluation of the patient before starting the 3 months of treatment and the end of 3 months of supervised treatmentNEW PERFECT: The examiner's fingers will be positioned approximately four centimeters from the vaginal introitus, and muscle function will be assessed. The examiner's fingers will be positioned approximately four centimeters from the vaginal introitus, and muscle function will be assessed.
V8 questionnaireAt the initial evaluation of the patient before starting the 3 months of treatment and the end of 3 months of supervised treatmentThis scale includes eight issues of urgency, incontinence, nocturia, and voiding frequency. The score for each response varies from 0 (no nuisance) to 5 (extremely uncomfortable), reaching a total of 40 points, being considered positive for SBH when the sum of the questions is equal to or greater than eight.
