Effectiveness of non-invasive magnetic stimulation of pelvic floor in control urinary incontinence
This randomised, double-blinded clinical trial was designed to determine the efficacy of using a non-invasive magnetic field treatment system in the control of urinary incontinence.
Results of the trial could not conclusively demonstrate that the system was effective in treating incontinence for the group of participants sampled, as the results were statistically insignificant and no observable difference was noticed between the intervention and placebo groups.
