The aim of the study was to assess the efficacy of low-frequency electrotherapy (LFE) for female patients with early-stage detrusor underactivity (DUA) due to neuromuscular deficiency.
A total of 102 female patients were divided randomly into four groups: LFE-NC (normal compliance), LFE-LC (low compliance), CON (control)-NC and CON-LC. Patients in the LFE-NC and LFE-LC groups received LFE, and those in the CON-NC and CON-LC groups received conservative treatment. Urodynamic evaluation was performed before and after treatment.
After treatment, 82 % of the LFE-NC regained detrusor contractility, whereas only 2 (8 %) of the CON-NC had normal detrusor contraction. None of LFE-LC or CON-LC regained detrusor contractility (p < 0.01). The per cent of LFE-NC who relied on catheterization for bladder emptying decreased by 43 % (p < 0.01). Those in the LFE-LC, CON-NC and CON-LC groups decreased by only 4, 12 or 0 % (p > 0.05).
LFE was more effective for DUA patients with normal compliance; these patients benefited from LFE, but DUA patients with low compliance did not.
本研究旨在评估低频电疗法(LFE)对因神经肌肉功能缺陷导致的早期逼尿肌活动不足(DUA)女性患者的疗效。
总共102名女性患者被随机分为四组:LFE-NC(正常顺应性)组、LFE-LC(低顺应性)组、CON(对照)-NC组和CON-LC组。LFE-NC组和LFE-LC组的患者接受LFE治疗,CON-NC组和CON-LC组的患者接受保守治疗。在治疗前后进行尿动力学评估。
治疗后,82%的LFE-NC组患者恢复了逼尿肌收缩力,而CON-NC组只有2名(8%)患者的逼尿肌收缩正常。LFE-LC组和CON-LC组均无患者恢复逼尿肌收缩力(p<0.01)。LFE-NC组中依靠导尿排空膀胱的患者比例下降了43%(p<0.01)。LFE-LC组、CON-NC组和CON-LC组的这一比例仅分别下降了4%、12%或0%(p>0.05)。
LFE对具有正常顺应性的DUA患者更有效;这些患者从LFE中受益,但顺应性低的DUA患者则不然。
