Behavior therapy could help patients with incontinence.


September 23, 2002

A recent study suggests that behavior therapy could be an effective strategy for bladder control problems in women. In the study, which was cited in a recent report in HealthScoutNews, 77 women participated in weekly sessions for six weeks. They were given general information on urinary function, pelvic exercises, and were instructed to keep a journal of daily voiding habits.

After the educational sessions the majority of women in the study reduced incontinence episodes 50% with some women reporting a 100% reduction. More evidence will be needed but certainly the results from the study appear promising.

This is where you can feature something special about the practice, highlight a new service, link to a news article, etc.

It's up to you. You can then add a link, such as to the services page, for them to learn more about the featured item.
