Il n’est pas sûr que les variantes faisant appel à des pincements (« squeeze »), à l’utilisation d’un vibreur ou à un mode particulier de masturbation produisent un surcroît d’efficacité. Quant aux exercices centrés sur le renforcement de la musculature pelvienne, ils ne semblent guère pertinents. Les traitements les plus efficaces sont également ceux qui permettent un accompagnement visant à optimiser l’intégration par les bénéficiaires des principes thérapeutiques et à aborder avec eux d’éventuelles difficultés associées.

It is not clear whether variations involving squeezing, use of a vibratory device or a particular mode of masturbation are more effective.
