Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Estimated better result of 42% on quality-of-life scores (Kings Health Questionnaire) between biofeedback and bladder training groups; non-parametric variable that had been analysed with wilcoxon test, showing better results in various domains favoring bladder training group comparing to beiofeedback;Estimated better result of 42% on symtoms score (International Consultation on Incontinence - Short Form) between biofeedback and bladder training groups; both groups got better results in the and but there was not statistical difference between groups, compared through ANOVA for repeated measures;Estimated better result of 42% on sexual function (Sexual Function Quocient) score between biofeedback and bladder training groups; there was not statistical difference inside and between groups, compared through ANOVA for repeated measures | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Evaluation of pelvic pressure before an after treatment in the two groups (perineometry); time for reaching maximun muscle contraction was better in biofeedback group at the end of the study (ANOVA);Correlation between subjective and objective perineal contractile function (digital examination and pressure perineometry); there was no corretation between strengh gain and perineometric variables, considering time for reaching maximum contraction and median muscle pressure (sperman);Adherence to treatment with number of completed exams in the physiotherapy group; final adherence was 59% | — |
