We reviewed the outcomes of 32 patients who had undergone radical prostatectomy and subsequently experienced urinary incontinence. These patients were divided into the control group ( n\u2009=\u200916) who received pelvic floor muscle training and the treatment group ( n\u2009=\u200916) who underwent electrophysiological appropriate technique treatment in conjunction with pelvic floor muscle training. We assessed changes in nocturnal voided volume, polyuria index, and nocturia-related quality of life at three different time points: before treatment, after 2 weeks, and at the 3-month follow-up. After 3-month follow-up, both groups exhibit reductions in nocturnal voided volume, and polyuria index compared with baseline and the 2-week mark ( p\u2009&lt;\u2009.05). Treatment group outperformed the control group ( p\u2009&lt;\u2009.05). The quality of life in the treatment group remained consistently high, while the control group did not show a statistically significant difference from baseline ( p\u2009&gt;\u2009.05). The total effective rate was significantly higher in the treatment group (93.75%) than in the control group (75.00%, p\u2009=\u2009.044). This retrospective analysis suggests that electrophysiological appropriate technique treatment effectively mitigates nocturnal, leading to improved quality of life in patients with urinary incontinence following radical prostatectomy in the near term.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/15579883241290837","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,27]],"date-time":"2024-10-27T11:26:22Z","timestamp":1730028382000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Retrospective Evaluation of the Efficacy of Electrophysiological Appropriate Techniques for Nocturia Following Radical Prostatectomy"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Mei","family":"Yang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Hangzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Hangzhou, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiaomei","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Hangzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Hangzhou, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chenyu","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Zhejiang Hangzhou High School Qiantang, Hangzhou, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-1756-3822","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Feng","family":"Gao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Hangzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Hangzhou, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Liping","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Hangzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Hangzhou, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9126-4877","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yasheng","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Hangzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Hangzhou, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jingyu","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Hangzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Hangzhou, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Qiqi","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Hangzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Hangzhou, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-15579883241290837","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.eururo.2008.10.029"},{"key":"bibr2-15579883241290837","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3322\/caac.21492"},{"key":"bibr3-15579883241290837","unstructured":"Bu X., An N., Zhang X., Gao N.
