Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The use of the transvaginal radiofrequency technique, associated with the pelvic muscle strengthening exercise, is more effective in relation to the pelvic muscle strengthening exercise alone in the treatment of postmenopausal women with urinary incontinence. Verified through the quality of life questionnaire called International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire - Short Form (ICIQ-SF), sexual questionnaire called Sexual Satisfaction The Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) and voiding diary. Qualitative variables will be described using absolute and relative frequency and quantitative variables using mean and standard deviation. To assess the interaction between moment and group in the quantitative variables, the Generalized Estimation Equations (GHG) will be used. The association between qualitative variables and group will be through the chi-square test. Values ??of p <0.05 will be considered significant and the analyzes will be performed using the SPSS Software. | — |
