“…Additionally, AT plus RT significantly increased the Incontinence Quality of Life Scale (I-QOL) score [WMD = 11.71, 95% CI (8.10, 15.33), p < 0.001] and the Barthel index (BI) score [WMD = 6.92, 95% CI (−0.22, 14.05), p = 0.058].DiscussionAT plus RT outperforms related RT or related AT in improving clinical efficacy and bladder function in PSUI patients. However, the number of included studies on AT plus RT remains limited, highlighting the need for more high-quality RCTs are needed to validate the findings.Systematic review registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/, identifier [CRD42024588520].…”
