Efeito da crioterapia na propriocepção dos músculos do assoalho pélvico em mulheres com incontinência urinária de esforço – recorte de um ensaio clínico randomizado controlado

Abstract

Abstract: Introduction: Urinary incontinence (UI) is defined by the International Continence Society as the involuntary loss of urine. It is a condition that affects thousands of people worldwide, and the prevalence increases with advancing age. There are three types of UI, stress (SUI), urgency (UIU) and mixed (MUI). Objective: To evaluate the effect of cryotherapy on the proprioception of the pelvic floor muscles (PFM's) in women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Methods: Clipping belonging to a randomized controlled clinical trial carried out at the Faculty of Health Sciences of Trairi. In the initial evaluation, the anamnesis was performed first, then the Incontinence Severity Index Questionnaire - ISI-Q, the King's Health Questionnaire (KHQ), the one-hour tampon test and ending the evaluation of the function and pressure of contraction maximum volunteer of the MAP's. After 48 hours, the volunteers were randomized and divided into Cryotherapy Group (CG) and Manometry Group (GM) and the interventions were applied. Results: Regarding the results of the intragroup comparison of the CG, there was an increase in all stages of PERFECT (p<0.004) and in the second measurement of manometry after the intervention protocol (p<0.032). However, the intragroup analysis of the GM only the Power stage (<0.023) of PERFECT and the first measurement of manometry (<0.015) showed a significant increase after the intervention. In the pre- and post-intervention intergroup analysis, there was no significant difference. Conclusion: There was an improvement in the function and contraction pressure of the PFMs in the CG, however there was no intergroup difference.
