Prospective and Comparative Evaluation of a Medical Device Composed of a Perineal Probe Connected to a Mobile Application in the Management of Stress Urinary Incontinence.
Sponsor: Nantes University Hospital
Summary
Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) affects around 40% of women and has a major impact on quality of life. The gold standard for the treatment of SUI is pelvicfloor rehabilitation, but this presents constraints in terms of availability of healthcare professionals, as well as organization and travel for patients. Innovative devices offer self-training exercises for the pelvicfloor, thus promoting motivation and adherence to treatment. The hypothesis of this study is to prove that the use of a pelvicfloor medical device combined with 2 rehabilitation sessions is not inferior to pelvic-perineal rehabilitation.

EMY
Patients in the "intervention" group (rehabilitation with the EMY medical device) will undergo 2 rehabilitation sessions with a physiotherapist trained in pelviperineology between M0 and M2. The aim of these sessions will be to learn proper perineal contraction and combat the deficits identified during the physiotherapist's assessment. They will have to perform pelvic-perineal re-education exercises with the EMY device on 3 different days a week, for 15 minutes, over a period of 3 months. Then, for a further 3 months, their program can be modified for free, on-demand use (e.g. 2 x 10 minutes per week). After the main criterion at M6, they will be free to modify their rehabilitation program in the application according to their symptoms, and follow their program until the end of the study
