Abstract:

Introduction and Aim: International continence society mentions that more than 50 % of females suffer from lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and more than 90% of them were not on any medication. LUTS is a term that covers symptoms resulting from conditions affecting the urinary bladder and urethra, prostate, other pelvic organs or any other part of the body which is related to the bladder and urethra anatomically. LUTS can be classified into 3 subcategories, i.e., storage symptoms (symptoms during storage of urine), voiding symptoms (symptoms during micturition), and post micturition symptoms (symptoms after completing micturition). Patients with LUTS may present with a combination of storage, voiding, and post micturition symptoms. The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of osteopathy treatment in patients with lower urinary tract symptoms. Materials and Methods: This is a pre-test post-test single group experimental study conducted at Sri Sri University. In this study, 20 females having the mean age of 21.9± 2.61 years with moderate and severe symptoms voluntarily participated. The pre-test scores were measured in 3 different questionnaires (AUA symptom score index, ICIQ – FLUTS and HPMDQ). The subjects were diagnosed and given 4 osteopathy sessions. The post-test scoring was noted and data was analysed using MS Excel. Results: Compared to the baseline scoring, the post intervention scores on all the questionnaires reduced significantly. Subjects having moderate and severe symptoms were selected for the study. After intervention either the symptoms were absent or mild residual symptoms were seen. Conclusion: The results shows that osteopathy treatment is effective in patients having lower urinary tract symptoms.
