Background and purpose: This case report describes interventions involving pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) with electromyographic biofeedback (EMG-BFB) for a 52-year-old man with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) following CNS and PNS vasculitis. Summary: Diagnosed with CNS and PNS vasculitis 5 years back, the patient gradually developed stress urinary incontinence. He was treated with PFMT in adjunct with EMG-BFB for 20 sessions and the pelvic floor muscle strength and the effect of SUI on the quality of life were assessed. Outcome: Improvements were seen in the pelvic floor muscle strength as measured by the modified oxford grading system; severity of SUI as measured by the International Consultation Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form; and the Incontinence-Quality of Life that measures the quality of the life following incontinence. A possible cause of improvement in the symptoms following intervention may be due to both the physical as well as the behavioral effect of EMG-BFB when used as an adjunct to the PFMT.
