Abstract
Background. Interstitial cystitis is a range of urological manifestations that are characterized by bladder, pelvic and urethral pain, just as irritative voiding side effects. It is characterized by the International Continence Society as the protest of suprapubic pain, identified with bladder filling combined by different manifestations, for example, expanded day time and evening time recurrence, without demonstrated urinary contamination or different evident pathology of the lower urinary tract. Objective. To investigate the effect of interferential electrical stimulation on pain perception and disability level on interstitial cystitis. Participants and methods. A total of 40 volunteering women diagnosed with interstitial cystitis. Their ages were ranged between 25 to 40 years old and their body mass index was > 30 kg/m2. Participants were randomly assigned to two equally numbered groups; group (A) receiving interferential current at the lower abdomen, in addition to a routine medical intervention, or group (B) receiving solely routine medical intervention for 8 successive weeks. Participants were assessed for pain using visual analog scale (VAS), related disability index using levels using O’Leary–Sant Symptom Index or Interstitial Cystitis Index (ICSI), and blood cortisol concentration. Measurements were taken before and after eight weeks of intervention. Results. The analysis of the results revealed a significant reduction in VAS score (P < 0.0001), ICSI scores (P < 0.0001), and the plasma cortisol concentration (P < 0.0001) in the participants of group (A) at the end of the treatment, compared to group (B). Conclusion. These results concluded that adding IC therapy to routine medical intervention had an excellent effect on the management of interstitial cystitis associated signs and symptoms particularly pain, plasma cortisol levels, related disabilities.

Abstract
Aim. Aging resulted in decrease in respiratory muscle strength which limits the exercise performance and quality of life. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical and the functional outcomes of inspiratory muscle training in elderly.
Material and methods. 48 nonsmoker’s elderly from both genders aging 60 to 70 years were recruited. They were assigned randomly into two groups of equal number. The study group received training with threshold inspiratory muscle trainer (IMT) at 40% of the PImax measured during the initial evaluation which was readjusted weekly by evaluating the PImax while the control group received training with threshold IMT at the lowest pressure offered by the device, 3 times/week for 10 weeks. Diaphragmatic mobility was measured by ultrasonography, Maximal inspiratory pressure measurement and the functional capacity was measured by 6MWT before and after the end of the training program for both groups.
Results. The diaphragmatic mobility, Maximal inspiratory pressure measurement and the distance walked during 6MWT increased significantly within the study group at the end of the study (p < 0.05) with non-significant change in the control group (p > 0.05). Comparison between both groups at the end of the study revealed significant increase in diaphragmatic mobility and Maximal inspiratory pressure measurement in study group compared with control group (p <0.05) with non-significant difference between both groups regarding the distance walked during 6MWT (p > 0.05).
Conclusion. Inspiratory muscle trainer should be a part in elderly daily routine as it has a positive effect on the clinical outcome measure and there is a tendency to improve the functional outcome.
