Effects of Transcutaneous Perineal Stimulation Versus Anal Stimulation
Effects of Transcutaneous Perineal Stimulation Versus Anal Stimulation
This study evaluates whether surface perineal stimulation is as effective as anal stimulation
 in reducing urinary incontinence secondary to radical prostatectomy.

 Half of participants will receive a treatment with surface perineal stimulation, while the
 other half will receive a treatment with anal stimulation.
Pelvic floor muscle training is the most common non-invasive intervention for urinary
 incontinence secondary to radical prostatectomy. Perineal stimulation has a significant
 positive impact on the early recovery of urinary continence after this intervention.

 The perineal stimulation can be applied with surface electrodes or with an intra-cavitary
 probe placed in the anus. The two techniques are commonly used. Each techniques stimulates
 different anatomical points of perineum, and it is a question if both have the same
 effectiveness or, one of the two techniques has greater effect than the other.
