The median and range are based on study arms. 1 arm = actual, 2 arms = range, 3+ arms median (range). If 1 or 2 studies have 3 or more arms, a median and range is given. Empty cells indicate that the outcome was not evaluated among the interventions designated in the given column

Abbreviations: AE = adverse event, D/C = discontinued, UTI = urinary tract infection, N = number, CNS = central nervous system, TENS = transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, PFMT = pelvic floor muscle training

*

Results in first line of each cell are given as percent adverse events, median (min, max). The numbers in brackets represent [total number of participants (number of studies)].
