Official Title: Efficacy of Personalized Extracorporeal Biofeedback Device for Pelvic Floor Muscle Training on Post-prostatectomy Incontinence
Study ID: NCT02485665
Brief Summary: To evaluate the efficacy of postoperative pelvic floor muscle training using personalized extracorporeal biofeedback device among patients with post-prostatectomy incontinence
Detailed Description: * Post prostatectomy urinary incontinence (PPI) was common complication after radical prostatectomy among prostate cancer patients. * The prevalence of post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence was reported at 87%. * The pelvic floor muscle therapy (PFMT) using Kegel exercise was first methods to prevent PPI after prostatectomy. * However, there was no standardized protocol of the PFMT and it was necessary of biofeedback to PFMT. * Therefore, we hypothesis the efficacy of personalized device of PFMT with biofeedback among patients who underwent radical prostatectomy * In this study, we evaluate the efficacy of postoperative pelvic floor muscle training using personalized extracorporeal biofeedback device among patients with post-prostatectomy incontinence.
