ABSTRACT
Since 2001 magnetic stimulation therapy has been available in Germany for treating urinary incontinence as an alternative to traditional electrical stimulation therapy. The results of 83 patients who underwent magnetic stimulation therapy for stress incontinence, OAB, and pelvic pain syndrome were evaluated. The results differed depending on the underlying disease. Patients with stress incontinence who could not properly contract pelvic floor muscles before could do so in 74% when clinically evaluated and patients with OAB symptoms improved in 54% as assessed by objective and subjective criteria, whereas patients with pelvic pain syndrome only benefited in 23%. Comparison of the results according to age revealed no significant difference between patients >65 years and younger patients.
