PFME-based combined rehabilitation for post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Low certainty evidence suggests that selected adjuncts may improve specific continence outcomes when added to PFME, and larger multicenter trials should use standardized continence definitions, common follow-up points, and validated psychological and quality-of-life measures.

Non-invasive biofeedback-assisted vs. conventional pelvic floor muscle training combined with high-effort resistance training for urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy: a randomized controlled trial

Both device-based and physiotherapist-guided PFMT were associated with significant reductions in objectively measured urinary leakage after RP, and this exploratory finding should be interpreted with caution, particularly because no adjustment for multiple testing was applied.
