Clinical profile

Device-assisted pelvic floor muscle training: a magnetic chair induces muscle contractions, and a biofeedback system helps perform the exercises correctly. The evidence base is Cochrane reviews of pelvic floor muscle training for urinary incontinence; data on magnetic stimulation are positive but heterogeneous.

Every statement links to a publication in the list below. This is a snapshot of published research, not a final assessment of the method: international practice and integrated protocols often run ahead of official publications. Draft based on published research; requires review by a physician. Revision: 2026-10-17.

Where studies show an effect

  • Urinary incontinence in women (stress and other types): pelvic floor muscle training cures or reduces symptoms. [1]
  • Prevention of incontinence: structured training from early pregnancy. [2]
  • Magnetic stimulation for urinary incontinence: improvement in symptoms and quality of life. [3, 4, 5]
  • Pelvic floor training with biofeedback or electrical stimulation reduces incontinence and improves muscle contraction. [6]

Open questions and study limitations

  • Studies of magnetic stimulation are heterogeneous, with possible bias; high-quality blinded RCTs are needed. [5, 4]
  • After childbirth, there is insufficient evidence for adding biofeedback to training. [7]
  • Incontinence after prostate surgery: the value of conservative methods has not been established. [8]

Safety

  • Magnetic stimulation is used without serious safety issues. [4]
Contraindications. Contraindications are determined by the physician according to the equipment or drug instructions; they are not given in study abstracts.

Evidence base

Pelvic floor muscle training is supported by Cochrane reviews; the added value of devices (magnetic stimulation, biofeedback) is less well proven.

Publications were found in PubMed; titles and journals are given verbatim, conclusions are a brief summary of the abstracts under the conditions of the specific studies. The level shows the volume of published data, not the value of the method: A — Plenty of data: consistent systematic reviews and meta-analyses of RCTs; B — Some data: reviews or several RCTs, results are heterogeneous; C — Little data: single RCTs or controlled studies; D — Scarce data: mainly reviews, observational and experimental studies. The passport is updated as new work is published and with regard to international practice.
