The Effect of High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic on Urinary Incontinence Symptoms

January 11, 2023 updated by: Kaohsiung Medical University Chung-Ho Memorial Hospital
This study is aimed at women's pelvic floor muscles, especially urinary incontinence caused by pelvic floor muscle relaxation or pelvic prolapse, to observe whether the use of (HIFEM) high-intensity focused magnetic energy chairs can help the pelvic floor muscles after this treatment Strengthening to improve the symptoms of urinary incontinence caused by the compression of the sacral nerve plexus caused by the downward movement of the uterus, thereby improving the social life and quality of life of the patient.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

20 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Urinary Incontinence
Stress Urinary Incontinence Urge incontinence
Device: High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic therapy

The HPM-6000UF is a non-invasive therapeutic device. The device produces electromagnetic field that interacts with the tissues of the human body.

The electromagnetic field delivered in the muscular or neuronal tissue area is triggering the stimulation and tonisation.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Urodynamic study
Time Frame: One hour
Urodynamic testing is any procedure that looks at how well parts of the lower urinary tract-the bladder, sphincters, and urethra-work to store and release urine. Most urodynamic tests focus on how well your bladder can hold and empty urine. Urodynamic tests can also show whether your bladder is contracting when it's not supposed to, causing urine to leak.
One hour
Questionnaire
Time Frame: fifteen minutes
Female Sexual Function Index, International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire, Urogenital Distress Inventory-6, Incontinence Impact Questionnaire-7, The International Consultation on Incontinence, Pelvic Organ Prolapse Distress Inventory-6, Overactive Bladder Symptom Score, The global response assessment.
fifteen minutes
Physiological parameter
Time Frame: five minutes
Age, BMI in kg/m^2, Pregnancy and childbirth, Year of Symptoms

Primary Completion (Anticipated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
