title: Stress incontinence methods invalidated.
abstract: Nurses treating patients with stress incontinence are likely to be employing methods which have yet to be properly validated, according to Christine Norton, Professional Development Officer for the Association of Continence Advisers. A survey reported in the British Medical journal concludes that there is an urgent need for research into the efficacy of treatment of stress incontinence by physiotherapists to ensure the most effective use of resources.
