The aim of this study was to examine whether foot reflexology has beneficial effects on patients with idiopathic detrusor overactivity. One hundred and nine women with symptomatic idiopathic detrusor overactivity were randomized into either foot reflexology treatment group or nonspecific foot massage control group. The primary outcome measure was the change in the diurnal micturition frequency. There was significant change in the number of daytime frequency in the reflexology group when compared with the massage group (-1.90 vs -0.55, p = 0.029). There was also a decrease in the 24-h micturition frequency in both groups, but the change was not statistically significant (-2.80 vs -1.04 p = 0.055). In the reflexology group, more patients believed to have received "true" reflexology (88.9 vs 67.4%, p = 0.012). This reflects the difficulty of blinding in trials of reflexology. Larger scale studies with a better-designed control group and an improved blinding are required to examine if reflexology is effective in improving patients' overall outcome.

In published work review, extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) has been showed to be effective in treating chronic perineal/pelvic pain in men, but there was no published report on its use in women. We report a case of female chronic perineal pain successfully treated by ESWT. A 51-year-old woman presented with persistent perineal scar pain after excision of a vulval-vaginal nodule despite oral analgesics and gabapentin. After 11 cycles of ESWT, she reported termination of analgesics consumption and decreased perineal pain score from 8 to 2. The Short Form 36 Questionnaire demonstrated improvement in physical and mental health conditions. There was no complication encountered. We postulate that the effect of ESWT in this patient was based on reduction of muscle tone and alternating the threshold of pain memory, similar to the mechanisms in male patients. Further study is required to determine the use of ESWT in treating female chronic perineal pain.

Obstetric anal sphincter injuries (OASIS) can cause an adverse impact on women's physical and mental health. There was lack of published data in Chinese population particularly on studying the risk of OASIS for nonrotational outlet forceps. This study was to determine the incidence and risk factors of OASIS.

Sacrocolpopexy and sacrospinous ligament fixation (SSLF) have been used for the restoration of apical support. Studies comparing sacrocolpopexy and SSLF have reported conflicting results. We aim to assess the current evidence regarding efficiency and the complications of sacrocolpopexy compared with SSLF.

Comparison of the effectiveness of sacrospinous ligament fixation and sacrocolpopexy: a meta-analysis.

The objective was to assess the sonographic tension-free vaginal tape-obturator (TVT-O) position and the outcome in Asian Chinese women.
