Hello,
Over the past few months, I conducted an extensive literature review on the use of magnetic stimulation for the treatment of urinary incontinence. The results are, at the very least, surprising: despite the growing volume of investment and widespread promotion of its benefits, I found no scientific evidence that magnetic stimulation is capable of generating any pelvic floor muscle contraction, let alone supramaximal muscle contractions.
The document I am sharing presents a critical and detailed analysis of this issue. I reviewed 147 studies, examined their methodologies, and verified every cited reference one by one.
I believe this content can contribute to more thoughtful reflections on the technologies we offer our patients and the scientific responsibility we must uphold as healthcare professionals.
