Short title used by the registry

Lower urinary tract symptoms in Parkinson's disease effectiveness of pelvic floor muscle exercises and electrical stimulation

Original description

Intervention: Pelvic physical therapy All patients: bladder training , toilet behavioral, biofeedback assisted pelvic floor muscle exercises Randomization in three groups: group 1 : electrical stimulation, pulse duration 1000 microsec /8 Hz for 20 min group 2: electrical simulation, pulse duration 200 microsec e/20 Hz for 20 min group 3: electrical stimulation, (2 sec active stimulation 20 sec no stimulation) pulse duration 200 microsec /100Hz sham for 20 min All groups 8 treatment sessions Primary outcome: The effect of pelvic physical therapy with ES will be estimated by evaluating LUTS symptoms at 12 weeks (T1), based on the IPSS score (men and women) at T1 in the 3 study arms. Secondary outcome: Demographic: age, sex, obstetric history, constipation, level of completed education, year of diagnosis PD, bloodpressureand diabetes Secondary outcome IPSS: measure at T2 (short term effect) -T3 (long term effect) Secondary outcomes at T0, 12 weeks (T1), 24 weeks (T2), and one year (T3) - International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Urinary Incontinence Short form (ICIQ-UI SF), - International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms quality of Life (ICIQ-LUTSqol), evaluating QoL in LUTS, particular reference to social effects. - International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Overactive Bladder, evaluating quality of Life of urgency incontinence Other secondary outcomes (T0) and 12 weeks (T1) - 24 hour bladder diary T0-T1 - Global Perceived Effect (GPE), to quantify the patient*s perceived improvement or deterioration over time. (T1) - Changes in EMG signals after pelvic physical therapy intervention of PFM during rest, maximum voluntary contractions (MVC) and endurance contractions (EC). T0-T1
