Topic: This study investigates urinary incontinence at a descensus of vagina
and bladder, after ruling out any medical problems, like tumours or
inflammatory diseases, like infections of the urinary tract, as well as urge
incontinence or hormonal disorders.
Question: Improvement of urinary incontinence through three osteopathic
treatments at a four to six weeks interval.
Parameter: Quality of Life-questionnaire for the subjective evaluation, as well
as the PAD-test for assessing the quantity of urine lost.
Method: Treatment with global osteopathic techniques, which are connected to
the pathology of stress incontinence of urine. Two groups, test group and
control group, were formed by random selection. Only the test group was
treated. The control group got a placebo treatment.
Results: The questionnaire was divided into two sections:
a) Questions concerning the function of the bladder
b) Influence of the involuntary loss of urine onto situations of the daily
life
In the evaluation of the test group, all women noted a significant improvement
concerning the frequency and the amount of loss of urine. These data also
corresponded to the results of the PAD-test. The involuntary loss of urine was
reported to be less disturbing. In the control group, only one woman reported
an improvement of the amount of urine loss.
All 16 questions concerning the influence of involuntary loss of urine onto
situations of the daily life were graded better by the test group. The result of
the control group was not a single definite one, neither in one nor in the other
direction. The results of the PAD-test of the test group showed an
improvement by 67% compared to the 0,3% of the control group.
Conclusion: A significant improvement of stress incontinence of urine could be
achieved by oesteopathic techniques. The outcome of the study has to be
regarded as successful and should be integrated into classical medicine. - presented at
