Abstract
The present study aimed to review the literature on clinical studies of extracorporeal magnetic innervation (ExMI) for female stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Studies were compiled from PubMed from 1998 to 2025. Clinical studies published in English were included. Nine studies evaluating the effect of ExMI on urinary incontinence were retrieved. Most of the studies are small-sized, single-arm, short-term, and moderate to limited in quality. The efficacy of ExMI to treat SUI is not conclusive throughout studies. Adverse events of ExMI are rarely reported. Well-founded evidence to recommend ExMI as standard treatment for female SUI is still not well established.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Medical Ultrasound is the peer-reviewed publication of the Asian Federation of Societies for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology, and the Chinese Taipei Society of Ultrasound in Medicine. Its aim is to promote clinical and scientific research in ultrasonography, and to serve as a channel of communication among sonologists, sonographers, and medical ultrasound physicians in the Asia-Pacific region and wider international community. The Journal invites original contributions relating to the clinical and laboratory investigations and applications of ultrasonography.
