Effect of Pelvic Floor Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation on Endometrial Repair after the Surgery of Moderate to Severe Intrauterine Adhesion
前瞻性收集2019年12月至2020年12月期间确诊为中重度宫腔粘连并接受治疗的107例患者的临床资料。根据患者的意愿分为实验组(盆底治疗组,50例)和对照组(常规治疗组,57例)。所有患者均行宫腔镜下宫腔粘连电切分离术(TCRA)。对照组行TCRA后予雌激素为主的人工周期治疗。实验组行TCRA后予盆底低频神经肌肉电刺激联合人工周期治疗,治疗期间进行每天30 min 的间歇性阴道电刺激。比较两组患者的粘连复发率、治疗前后子宫内膜厚度等临床预后。检测治疗前后两组患者子宫内膜中VEGF的表达水平。
To investigate the effect of pelvic floor neuromuscular electrical stimulation on endometrial repair after the surgery of moderate to severe intrauterine adhesion.
Methods
2
Clinical data of 107 patients who were diagnosed with moderate to severe intrauterine adhesions and received treatment from December 2019 to December 2020 were prospectively collected. According to their voluntary choice, the patients were divided into experimental group (the group with the treatment of pelvic floor neuromuscular electrical stimulation, 50 cases) and control group (the group with conventional treatment, 57 cases). All patients underwent the surgery of transcervical resection of adhesion (TCRA). The control group received artificial cycle therapy after the TCRA. The experimental group was additionally treated with pelvic floor neuromuscular electrical stimulation for 30 minutes a day during the treatment. The adhesion recurrence rate and endometrial thickness were compared between the two groups before and after treatment. Also, the expression level of VEGF in endometrium of the two groups was detected before and after treatment.
Results
2
The recurrence rate of IUA in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group (22.0%
vs
. 43.9%,
P
= 0.017). The average increased endometrial thickness in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group (2.19±1.69 mm
vs.
1.39±1.63 mm,
P
=0.015). After the treatment, the average optical density (AOD) of VEGF in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group [0.05 (0.03~0.08)
vs
. 0.03 (0.01~0.04),
P
=0.000].
Conclusions
2
The pelvic floor neuromuscular electrical stimulation may be effective for reducing postoperative recurrence rate of patients with moderate and severe intrauterine adhesions, and it has a significant effect on promoting angiogenesis and increasing the thickness of endometrium.
