Effectiveness of auricular acupuncture and pelvic floor muscle training in the management of urinary incontinence following surgical treatment for prostate cancer: A randomized clinical trial.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the effectiveness of auricular acupuncture combined with pelvic floor muscle training to manage urinary incontinence following radical prostatectomy. METHODS: This is a randomized clinical trial that was conducted between April 2019 and April 2020 with 60 participants allocated into two groups, namely: control (pelvic muscle training) and intervention (auricular acupuncture + pelvic muscle training). Interventions were carried out during eight weekly sessions. Generalized estimating equations and proportion difference tests were applied in the statistical analysis with a significance level of 0.05. RESULTS: Urinary incontinence severity decreased between pre-test and post-test in both groups. There was a statistically significant difference of the impact of urinary incontinence on quality of life between the groups at post-test in the domain "severity measures" (p = 0.013), and only in the intervention group between pre-test and post-test in the domains "emotions" (p < 0.001) and "sleep and mood" (p = 0.008). The intervention group was 20.8% (p = 0.007) and 25.3% (p = 0.002) less likely to present nocturia and urinary urgency, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Auricular acupuncture combined with pelvic floor muscle training was more effective, compared to pelvic floor muscle training alone, in reducing the impact of urinary incontinence on quality of life and reducing the odds of nocturia and urinary urgency.

Effectiveness of systemic acupuncture in the control of urinary incontinence following radical prostatectomy: a randomized clinical trial.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of acupuncture associated with pelvic floor muscle training for the control of urinary incontinence following radical prostatectomy. METHOD: Open-label, parallel randomized clinical trial. The intervention group (n = 33) underwent eight sessions of systemic acupuncture associated with pelvic floor muscle training and the control group (n = 31) performed only pelvic floor muscle training. The outcome variable was urinary incontinence assessed by the Pad Test and Daily Pad Used, before treatment (T0), after four weeks (T1) and after eight weeks of treatment (T2). Data analysis was performed using a longitudinal model of Generalized Estimating Equations, significance level of 0.05. RESULTS: The control group showed greater urinary loss compared to the intervention group at T1 (p = 0.006) and at T2 (p < 0.001). Both groups showed improvement in the level of urinary incontinence over time, but the improvement was greater in the intervention group (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Acupuncture associated with pelvic floor muscle training was effective in reducing urinary incontinence in prostatectomized men.Brazilian Registry of Clinical Trials:RBR-3jm5y2.

Cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the Urinary Incontinence Scale After Radical Prostatectomy for the Brazilian context.

OBJECTIVE: To translate, adapt, and validate the Urinary Incontinence Scale After Radical Prostatectomy for Brazil. METHOD: Methodological study: cross-cultural adaptation (translation, synthesis, back translation, expert committee (n=25), pre-testing (n=40) and presentation to original authors) and evaluation of measurement properties (n=80). Data were collected between January 2018 and February 2019 in an oncology unit. The calculated measurement properties: structural validity, hypothesis testing, criterion validity and reliability. RESULTS: The Brazilian version was called Escala de Incontinência Urinária Pós-Prostatectomia Radical. One item was excluded due to low factor loading (0.322). A significant correlation was identified between the total score of the scale and instruments applied (p<0.001). Incontinent men had higher scores on the total scale in relation to continents (p<0.001). Cronbach's alpha was 0.94 and composite reliability was 0.97. CONCLUSION: The Brazilian version was considered valid and reliable for the assessment of urinary incontinence in prostatectomized patients.

Cognitive-behavioral program to control lower urinary tract symptoms after radical prostatectomy: a randomized clinical trial.

OBJECTIVE: to assess the effectiveness of a cognitive-behavioral program to control lower urinary tract symptoms after radical prostatectomy. METHODS: a randomized clinical trial study, with 41 participants randomized into intervention (n=20) and control (n=21), for three months. The intervention group received the cognitive-behavioral program, while the control group received routine guidance from the service. Outcome variables were urinary incontinence intensity and lower urinary tract symptoms, assessed by the Pad-Test and Urinary Incontinence Scale of Radical Prostatectomy and King's Health Questionnaire. RESULTS: at the end of the study, the intervention group had a lower urinary incontinence intensity (p≤0.001), and there were less chances of presenting changes in urinary frequency (p≤0.001), urinary urgency (p≤0.001), nocturia (p=0.005), stress urinary incontinence (p≤0.001) and urge incontinence (p≤0.045). CONCLUSION: the cognitive-behavioral program was effective in reducing lower urinary tract symptoms after radical prostatectomy. Brazilian Clinical Trial Registry: RBR-3sstqg.

Complementary therapies in the control of male lower urinary tract symptoms: A systematic review. / Terapias complementares no controle de sintomas do trato urinário inferior masculino: revisão sistemática.

OBJECTIVE: to evaluate diverse scientific evidence on the effectiveness of complementary therapies in the control of lower urinary tract symptoms in the adult and aged male population. METHOD: a systematic review developed according to the PRISMA checklist. The search was performed in the CINAHL, Embase, LILACS, PEDro, PubMed, Web of Science and Google Scholar databases. RESULTS: a total of 585 records were identified and 12 clinical trials were selected that met the inclusion criteria. The outcomes considered by the studies for analyzing effectiveness of the complementary therapies were validated questionnaires to assess the severity of the lower urinary tract symptoms (sensation of incomplete bladder emptying, frequent urination, intermittent flow, weak flow, pain or difficulty urinating, nocturia and urgency) and urodynamics parameters. The studies analyzed the complementary phytotherapy (n=8) and electroacupuncture (n=4) therapies. Six studies related to phytotherapy showed statistical significance. Electroacupuncture showed a significant improvement in the symptoms in two studies. CONCLUSION: pytotherapy was effective to control the simptoms related to frequency, urgency, nocturia, incomplete emptying, intermittence, weak flow and effort to initiate urination. To confirm the effectiveness of electroacupuncture, research studies with well-designed methodologies will also be necessary to resolve the divergences between the studies of this review.

Effect of Ear Acupuncture plus Dry Cupping on Activities and Quality of Life in the Adults with Chronic Back Pain: a Randomized Trial.

Background: Chronic pain is a complex phenomenon that brings physical and emotional impairments negatively impacting people's quality of life. The adoption of interventions such as ear acupuncture and dry cupping can represent a treatment option for people with chronic back pain. Objectives: To investigate the effects of ear acupuncture combined with dry cupping therapy on the interference of pain with the daily activities and quality of life of adults with chronic back pain. Methods: An open-label, randomized, parallel-group controlled clinical trial. One hundred and ninety-eight adults were randomized into control (CG - ear acupuncture) or experimental (EG - ear acupuncture combined with dry cupping) groups. Interventions were performed in five sessions, once a week, lasting five weeks. Evaluations were performed before the first session, after the last session, and seven days after the second evaluation, using the Brief Pain Inventory to assess the impact of pain on daily activities and the World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF) to assess the quality of life. Results: Between the initial and final sessions, there were significant changes in daily activities , activity, work, mood, relationships, sleep, and in the physical, psychological and social relationships domains for both the control and experimental groups. Improved perception of quality of life and satisfaction with health were observed for the participants in the experimental group. Conclusion: Ear acupuncture combined with dry cupping showed better results in terms of perception of quality of life and satisfaction with health when compared to ear acupuncture by itself.

Effects of ear acupuncture combined with cupping therapy on severity and threshold of chronic back pain and physical disability: A randomized clinical trial.

Background and aim: Chronic back pain causes physical, functional, and emotional disabilities. Traditional Chinese Medicine therapies have been shown as interventions to treat chronic back pain. The present study aimed to clinically evaluate the effects of ear acupuncture combined with cupping therapy on people with chronic back pain. Experimental procedure: We conducted an open-label, randomized, parallel-group controlled clinical trial. Following the CONSORT statement recommendations, 198 participants were randomized into 'ear acupuncture' and 'ear acupuncture and cupping therapy' groups. Data were collected in three different points; before the first session (initial) with the patient, after the last session (final), and seven days after the end of the treatment (follow-up). The Brief Pain Inventory, a digital algometer, and the Rolland Morris Disability Questionnaire were used for data collection. Generalized Estimation Equation model was used to examine the association between the interventions and the primary outcome pain severity. Results: Pain severity, pressure pain threshold, and physical disability improved over time in both groups. However, for the patients being treated with both ear acupuncture and cupping therapy, significant changes were seen in pain severity, pain relief, and physical disabilities between the initial and final sessions. For the 'ear acupuncture and cupping therapy' group, significant changes were also seen for pain relief and physical disability in the follow-up session. Conclusion: Ear acupuncture combined with cupping therapy was shown to be more effective in the treatment of chronic back pain when compared to treatment using only ear acupuncture.

Factors associated with stress, anxiety and depression in nursing professionals in the hospital context.

OBJECTIVE: to determine the factors associated with stress, anxiety and depression, concomitantly, in nursing professionals who work in the hospital context. METHODS: a quantitative and cross-sectional study with 353 nursing professionals from a hospital. A sociodemographic questionnaire and the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale-21 were used. Data were subjected to descriptive statistical analysis, difference and correlation tests. RESULTS: the main factors associated with stress, anxiety and depression, concomitantly, were being female, compromised family and social support, lack of autonomy at work, hostile relationship with colleagues, lack of professional recognition and satisfaction, feeling of being overwhelmed and insecurity. CONCLUSIONS: demographic, physiological, social and work factors impact the levels of stress, anxiety and depression in nursing professionals. The adoption of coping strategies for modifiable factors should be considered, in order to provide better quality of life for these professionals.

Cognitive-behavioral program to control lower urinary tract symptoms after radical prostatectomy: a randomized clinical trial / Programa cognitivo-conductual para el control de los síntomas del tracto urinario inferior después de la prostatectomía radical: un ensayo clínico aleatorizado / Programa cognitivo-comportamental para controle de sintomas do trato urinário inferior pós-prostatectomia radical: ensaio clínico randomizado

ABSTRACT Objective: to assess the effectiveness of a cognitive-behavioral program to control lower urinary tract symptoms after radical prostatectomy. Methods: a randomized clinical trial study, with 41 participants randomized into intervention (n=20) and control (n=21), for three months. The intervention group received the cognitive-behavioral program, while the control group received routine guidance from the service. Outcome variables were urinary incontinence intensity and lower urinary tract symptoms, assessed by the Pad-Test and Urinary Incontinence Scale of Radical Prostatectomy and King's Health Questionnaire. Results: at the end of the study, the intervention group had a lower urinary incontinence intensity (p≤0.001), and there were less chances of presenting changes in urinary frequency (p≤0.001), urinary urgency (p≤0.001), nocturia (p=0.005), stress urinary incontinence (p≤0.001) and urge incontinence (p≤0.045). Conclusion: the cognitive-behavioral program was effective in reducing lower urinary tract symptoms after radical prostatectomy. Brazilian Clinical Trial Registry: RBR-3sstqg.

ABSTRACT Objective: To translate, adapt, and validate the Urinary Incontinence Scale After Radical Prostatectomy for Brazil. Method: Methodological study: cross-cultural adaptation (translation, synthesis, back translation, expert committee (n=25), pre-testing (n=40) and presentation to original authors) and evaluation of measurement properties (n=80). Data were collected between January 2018 and February 2019 in an oncology unit. The calculated measurement properties: structural validity, hypothesis testing, criterion validity and reliability. Results: The Brazilian version was called Escala de Incontinência Urinária Pós-Prostatectomia Radical. One item was excluded due to low factor loading (0.322). A significant correlation was identified between the total score of the scale and instruments applied (p<0.001). Incontinent men had higher scores on the total scale in relation to continents (p<0.001). Cronbach's alpha was 0.94 and composite reliability was 0.97. Conclusion: The Brazilian version was considered valid and reliable for the assessment of urinary incontinence in prostatectomized patients.
