In women urinary incontinence is a common problem in peri- and postmenopausal period and a general symptom associated with pregnancy as well. Physical methods are used in the conservative treatment of urinary incontinence. A relatively new physical method used in the treatment of urinary incontinence is Extracorporeal Magnetic Innervation.&#13;
Aim: The aim of this study is a systematic review of researches assessing the efficacy of magnetic therapy in the treatment of urinary incontinence in women.&#13;
Methods: Clinical studies searching was based on a detailed report in accordance to the guidelines of the Cochrane Collaboration. The following databases were searched through: Pub Med., Medline, Embase, The Cochrane Library (Central). The key words were: urinary incontinence, Extracorporeal Magnetic Innervation, ExMI, magnetic stimulation and related expressions. The databases from 1998 till the year 2016 were searched.&#13;
Results: The above keywords were found in the databases of 27 studies assessing the efficacy of ExMI in the treatment of UI in women. These studies were evaluated by two independent reviewers who selected two studies that met the established criterion of the inclusion in the review.&#13;
Conclusion: Magnetic Stimulation used in the treatment of urinary incontinence is a non-invasive, painless and comfortable for the patient method, and therefore there is a need for studies with a well-designed research protocol&#13;
