Abdomen breathing training combined with electrogalvanic stimulation and biological feedback therapy for postpartum pelvic floor hypertonicity
Objective:To evaluate the effects of abdomen breathing training combined with electrogalvanic stimulation and biological feedback therapy for postpartum pelvic floor hypertonicity.Method:Ninety-six women with postpartum pelvic floor hypertonicity in Chenghua Women's and Children's Pel-vic Floor Rehabilitation Clinic of West China Second Hospital from January to December 2022 were randomly divided into treatment and control groups.The control group(n=48)was treated with electrogalvanic stimula-tion for 10 minutes and biological feedback for 10 minutes.The treatment group(n=48)received electrogalvan-ic stimulation for 10 minutes,biological feedback for 10 minutes,and abdomen breathing training for 5-10 minutes.Two teams received treatment 2-3 times per week and 10 times in total.The visual analogue scale(VAS)of pelvic floor myofascial pain,pre-baseline rest and post-baseline rest,pelvic floor muscle strength(ac-cording to the 0-5 Oxford scale),phasic(flick)contractions,tonic contractions and the female sexual func-tion index(FSFI)scores of the two groups were evaluated before and after treatment.Result:The VAS score of the pelvic floor myofascial pain,pre-baseline rest,and post-baseline rest were lower than those before the intervention in both groups(P＜0.05).Pelvic floor muscle strength,phasic(flick)contrac-tions,tonic contractions,FSFI scores,were higher than those before the intervention(P＜0.05).After intervention,the VAS score of pelvic floor myofascial palpation tenderness and resting potential of pelvic floor muscles in the treatment group were all lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05),the scores of hand-tested pelvic floor muscle strength and female sexual function index scale were higher than those in the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Abdomen breathing training combined with electrogalvanic stimulation and biological feedback sig-nificantly improved the postpartum pelvic floor hypertonicity and pelvic floor myofascial pain,boosted sexual function in postpartum,which is more advantageous than using the electrical stimulation and biofeedback alone.
