The Neocontrol Pelvic Floor Therapy System is a pulsating magnetic chair designed by Neotonus, Inc . The Neocontrol system was recently approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of stress, urge, and mixed urinary incontinence due to pelvic floor weakness in women. The most common causes of pelvic floor weakness are childbirth, surgery, injury, or hormonal changes during menopause. With the Neocontrol system, patients relax fully clothed for 20-30 minutes twice a week in a chair that has magnetic technology embedded in the seat. Pulsating magnetic fields induce muscle contractions in the pelvic floor to build strength.
Neocontrol treatment is painless.
The treatment course takes about eight weeks or more. The technology produces highly focused pulsing magnetic fields. Patients sit in a chair for treatment which allows the therapeutic fields to be easily aimed at the muscles of the pelvic floor that control continence. These muscles contract and relax with each magnetic pulse, exercising them just as you would exercise any other muscle in our body, except your brain is not directing the contraction. In timed voiding, the patient fills out a chart that notes all episodes of urination and leaking.
