Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This intervention program combines biofeedback PFME with a telephone or support group intervention to treat persistent urinary incontinence (UI). The study's primary aims are to improve continence, quality of life, and mood through enhancing adherence to PFME and self-management of incontinence symptoms. The secondary aims are to examine the physiological effects and cost effectiveness of the proposed interventions.
