    Aim Genuine stress urinary incontinence (GSI) is a common, disruptive and potentially disabling condition in which involuntary loss of urine occurs as a result of stress, and in the absence of involuntary detrusor contractions. The purpose of this trial was to investigate the additive effect of interferential therapy over pelvic floor exercises alone, in the management of genuine stress urinary incontinence. Methods One hundred and two women suffering from GSI were randomized into one of two 4-week physical therapy programmes. Fifty two women had interferential therapy (IFT) as well as doing set pelvic floor exercises (PFM), while 50 women did the pelvic floor exercises, without any undergoing other treatment. The relevant treatment/exercises were done three times a week for 4 weeks, totalling 12 treatment sessions. The outcomes of interest, including one hour pad test, frequency volume chart, quality of life questionnaire and a visual analogue score for incontinence were collected at baseline, 1-week, 2-weeks, 3-weeks and 4-weeks after initiation of therapy. Results The results revealed significant (p<0.05) improvement for all outcome measures in each group. Significantly (p<0.05) greater improvements were detected in the group which combined pelvic floor exercises with IFT. Conclusions The findings of the present study indicate a potential benefit to including IFT with pelvic floor exercises when treating GSI.

    Cyriax and Cyriax advocated the use of deep transverse friction massage in combination with Mill's manipulation in treating lateral epicondylalgia. Evidence comparing this approach with other physical therapies is lacking. The purpose of this randomized clinical trial was to compare the effectiveness of deep transverse friction massage with Mill's manipulation versus phonophoresis with supervised exercise in managing lateral epicondylalgia. Sixty patients age 30-60, presenting with the teno-periosteal variety of lateral epicondylalgia with symptom duration greater than one month, were randomized into two groups. The control group received phonophoresis with diclofenac gel over the area of the lateral epicondyle for 5 minutes combined with supervised exercise. The experimental group received 10 minutes of deep transverse friction massage followed by a single application of Mill's manipulation. Both groups received treatment 3 times per week for 4 weeks. Outcomes of interest included pain via visual analog scale (VAS), pain-free grip strength, and functional status measured with the Tennis Elbow Function Scale. Data were analyzed using a one-way ANOVA. Whereas both groups improved significantly from the initiation of treatment, a between-group comparison revealed significantly greater (p<0.05) improvements regarding pain, pain-free grip, and functional status for the experimental group compared to the control group. The results of this study demonstrate that Cyriax physiotherapy is a superior treatment approach compared to phonophoresis and exercise in managing lateral epicondylalgia.
