Interventions
This project is designed to determine the efficacy of using a non-invasive, easy to use, cost effective system in the control of urinary incontinence in women who are ageing. This project is a double-blind randomised controlled trial (RCT) of magnetic stimulation of the pelvic area. The system is based on the use of non-invasive magnetic stimulation and consists of an undergarment with 15 in-built magnets placed anterior, posterior and inferior to the pelvis. The undergarment is worn over the participant's usual underwear for a period of at least 6 hours during the day and at least 6 hours during the night. The discs in the treatment garment are magnetic. The trial duration is 12 weeks.
