The Use of Energy-Based Devices for the Treatment of Stress Urinary Incontinence: A Systematic Review and Meta Analysis of the Randomised Sham-Controlled Trials
Listen to this summary
The authors aimed to evaluate the efficacy of energy-based devices (EBDs) for treating stress urinary incontinence (SUI) compared to sham treatments through a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. Their findings suggest that EBDs, particularly non-ablative Er:YAG laser, provide a statistically significant but modest improvement in SUI symptoms, although the effects are short-term and further high-quality studies are needed for conclusive evidence.
