The Effect of Biofeedback Therapy on ICIQ-SF Scores and Urodynamic Parameters in Patients with Stress Urinary Incontinence

It was aimed that the comparison between the urodynamic parameters and The International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire - Short Form (ICIQ-SF) scores in patients with stress urinary incontinence. In this study, the ICIQ-SF was filled and urodynamics were done the 40 patients who have got stress urinary incontinence. After the biofeedback therapy, ICIQ-SF was filled and urodynamics were done again. In this study it was seen that there was a great benefit from the scores of ICIQ-SF (9.95 ± 4.39) after the biofeedback therapy to the scores of ICIQ-SF (18.07 ± 2.4) which were done before the biofeedback therapy. However, it was observed that there was not any statistical difference between the urodynamics parameters which were before the therapy and the urodynamics parameters which were after the therapy. Considering the results of this study, the patients started getting well with the help of the biofeedback therapy and the ICIQ-SF scores decreased. That's why the biofeedback is a good alternative according to the surgery therapy if surgery is indicated. The reason why urodynamics is needless on the stress urinary incontinence that are planned to biofeedback therapy, because it doesnt illustrate any difference on the urodynamics parameters.
