title: Perineal biofeedback versus pelvic floor training in the treatment of urinary incontinence.
abstract: Perineal floor training and perineal biofeedback allow to reach a good improvement of clinical discomfort in the treatment of stress and urge urinary incontinence. The aim of this study is the real evaluation of the benefit due to a 6 week perineal biofeedback and pelvic floor training (PFT) versus PFT alone. 8 female patients have been treated with a 6 week trial with perineal biofeedback plus PFT trial and 22 with a 3 month PFT alone one. PFT alone, permits a good improvement but 10% less than if associated to perineal biofeedback.
