Study Design: Parallel Assignment, Single Blind, Randomized, 4 arms.
Improvement outcomes: Daytime and nighttime urinary frequency, frequency of incontinence episodes, Quality of life, Depression and Functional status. Maximal bladder capacity, morbidity and Health service utilization.
Data processing: Results will classify as statistical significance for value p<0.05. The processing will perform with SPSS-11.5 software. |
