Electrical stimulation for the treatment of urinary incontinence: do we know enough to accept it as part of our practice?
While many nurses are involved in the treatment of incontinent patients, few are well-informed on electrical stimulation. In this paper, patient-controlled stimulation is discussed and implications for current nursing practice considered. The paper includes a discussion of the weaknesses in current research with electrostimulation and concludes with recommendations for future research in the treatment of incontinence with this new modality.
