title: [Unstable detrusor: usefulness of biofeedback].
abstract: Presentation of results of treatment using Biofeedback in two conditions which quite frequently associate vesical instability and incontinence: 65 cases of enuresis and 39 of urinary stress incontinence in females. The method was effective and achieved disappearance of detrusor instability in 78.2% of enuretic cases and 58.9% of urinary stress female incontinence. Outcome for incontinence was less favourable since disappearance was only achieved in 70.5% of enuretics and 20.5% cases of female incontinence. A brief description of the method and instrumentation used is done, which can be easily conveyed to any electromiographic device with real time output. The paper substantiates the authors' views relative to the likely pathogeny of the instability in both processes and the mechanism of action of Biofeedback techniques.
