Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of pelvic floor magnetic stimulation with BIOCON for the treatment of patients with stress urinary incontinence. Materials and Methods: Forty-nine patients with urinary incontinence were randomly assigned to two treatment groups (20 patients in the NEOCONTROL group and 29 in the BIOCON group). The patients were treated for 20 minutes, twice or three times a week for 12 weeks; each patient was fully clothed and seated on a special chair, a NEOCONTROL or BIOCON chair with a magnetic field therapy head in the seat. Objective measures included the symptom score, vaginal pressure and quality of life survey. Results: Both NEOCONTROL and BIOCON extracorporeal magnetic innervation offered an effective modal for frequency, urgency and urinary incontinence. No statistical difference was seen between the two groups when comparing their vaginal pressures. In the NEOCONTROL group, the score for the quality of life improved 2.4 to 6.05 and 2.21 to 6.03 for the BIOCON group. Conclusions: Extracorporeal magnetic innervation is painless. There is no need for a probe, nor for the need to undress for treatments. BIOCON extracorporeal magnetic innervation therapy is as effective in stress and urge incontinence as the NEOCONTROL type. A longer follow- up is required to determine the benefits of treatment. (Korean J Urol 2004;45:438-443)
