Ninety-eight patients with urinary incontinence have been treated with maximal electrical stimulation (MES) The MES method used is a modification of previously used similar methods of maximal stimulation with respect to reduced intensity of stimulation and reduced number of electrodes. Thus, discomfort to the patient during treatment is considerably lessened. Anal or vaginal MES produced temporary or sustained improvement or relief of incontinence in 47 of 98 patients.
