- Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of electrostimulation combined with biofeedback therapy for patients with dysuria after radical hysterectomy and to provide clinical reference for the evaluation of safety of electrostimulation for tumors.METHODS: Totally 40 patients with dysuria which presented two weeks after radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer in Foshan First People's Hospita were enrolled as research subjects,and they were randomly assigned into control group and experimental group,each with 20 cases.Patients in control group only received standard treatment,while standard treatment combined with electrostimulation and biofeedback treatment in sacral nerve root surface projection area,bladder area,vaginal respectively were carried out in experimental group.The baseline condition of dysuria of all cases were evaluated in two weeks after radical surgery.The therapeutic effect in the patients in two groups were evaluated according to the recovery of bladder sensory function,international lower urinary tract symptom score,urinary symptom distress score and urodynamic measurement at 8 weeks and 12 weeks after the operation,respectively.Also,regular and normative surveillance and follow-up for tumor were implemented.RESULTS: Through our study,we found that electrical stimulation combined with biofeedback thearpy will greatly shorten the recovery time of bladder sensory function,and 12 weeks after the operation,the number of patients who had normal bladder sensory function in experimental group was twice as many as that of the control group(16/8).In addition,at 8 and 12 weeks after operation,all indexs of the urinary symptom disturbance score and international lower urinary tract symptom score at the same period in the experimental group were superior to those in control group(P<0.05).Furthermore,the pressure of bladder detrusor muscle at 12 weeks after operation was(44.31±5.51)cm H2 O(1 cm H2 O=0.098 k Pa)in experimental group,which was close to the normal level,while it was only(38.11±5.81)cm H2 O in control group,showing a significant difference(P<0.05).All patients were followed up more than three years and no evidence of tumor recurrence was found.CONCLUSION: Low-frequency electrical stimulation combined with biofeedback treatment is safe and effective for patients wtih dysuria after radical hysterectomy,which can shorten the recovery time of dysuria and improve the quality of life of patients.
