Biofeedback-assisted EMG relaxation for urinary retention and incontinence: a case report.
A 27-year-old woman with chronic urinary retention and incontinence since infancy was treated for 8 months with frontal electromyographic relaxation training. Urinary control and sensations of bladder fullness were obtained for the first time in the patient's history. Residual urine readings showed marked improvement. Application of EMG biofeedback to other bladder disorders is discussed.
