The Glazer Protocol: Evidence-Based Medicine Pelvic Floor Muscle (PFM) Surface Electromyography (SEMG)
View through CrossRef
The authors cite a Medline review article of biofeedback for urinary incontinence to demonstrate the pervasive lack of standardized operationally defined variables, which precludes the application of evidence-based-medicine standards to the field. As an example of an early-stage evidence-based-medicine model, the Glazer Protocol demonstrates how empirically derived and operationally defined SEMG characteristics hold great promise for a better understanding of the pathophysiology of urinary incontinence and can assist in both diagnosis and treatment of this disorder.
