Feasibility and short-term comparative outcomes of a digital-assisted community-based electrical stimulation rehabilitation program for postmenopausal women with pelvic floor dysfunction: a non-randomized controlled study

Listen to this summary

This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and short-term outcomes of a digital-assisted community-based electrical stimulation (BES) rehabilitation program for postmenopausal women with pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) compared to standard hospital care. The findings indicated that while the community-based program showed compatible pelvic floor muscle strength improvements and higher self-reported adherence, health knowledge, and quality of life, the non-randomized design necessitates cautious interpretation of these results as preliminary and exploratory rather than definitive.
