Urinary incontinence affects 13 million Americans at a cost of $11.2 billion annually to the community. With an aging population, these numbers are expected to increase substantially in coming years. At the Bladder Control Center in Cincinnati, staff have completed over 3,600 biofeedback sessions with encouraging results.
