This randomized clinical trial includes 69 individuals with urinary incontinence one month after radical prostatectomy. One physiotherapist, with experience in urogynecology, was responsible for all the assessments. Urinary frequency, nocturia, 24-hour pad test, number of pads used per day, and the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire - Short Form (ICIQ-SF) were the variables evaluated.
The subjects were allocated in one of two treatment groups (G1: Pilates; G2: anal electrical stimulation combined with pelvic floor muscle training). Volunteers participated of 10 sessions of the corresponding treatment and were reassessed objectively by the number of pads used per day, and subjectively with the score of quality of life.
