Neuromuscular Re-education, Impairment-based Exercise and Electric Dry Needling vs. Neuromuscular Re-education and Impairment-based Exercise for Stress Urinary Incontinence
The purpose of this research is to compare two different approaches for treating patients
with stress urinary incontinence: neuromuscular re-education, impairment-based exercise and
electric dry needling versus neuromuscular re-education and impairment-based exercise.
Physical therapists commonly use all of these techniques to treat stress urinary
incontinence. This study is attempting to find out if one treatment strategy is more
effective than the other.
with stress urinary incontinence: neuromuscular re-education, impairment-based exercise and

Physical therapists commonly use all of these techniques to treat stress urinary
incontinence. This study is attempting to find out if one treatment strategy is more
effective than the other.
Patients with stress urinary incontinence will be randomized to receive 2 treatment sessions
per week for up to 6 weeks (8-12 sessions total) of either: (1) neuromuscular re-education,
impairment-based exercise and electric dry needling (2) neuromuscular re-education and
impairment-based exercise
per week for up to 6 weeks (8-12 sessions total) of either: (1) neuromuscular re-education,
impairment-based exercise and electric dry needling (2) neuromuscular re-education and
impairment-based exercise

Exclusion Criteria:
1. Urge urinary incontinence or mixed urinary incontinence
2. Greater than second degree prolapse
3. Previous surgical intervention related to female anatomy

training
6. Taking medication that impacts bladder function
