Effects of the Hypopressive Exercises in Women With Pelvic Organ Prolapse

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study was compare home-based pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) alone and home-based PFMT combined with hypopressive exercise (HE) in terms of pelvic floor muscle (PFM) activation and severity of pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) in women with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) for eight weeks. For this purpose, the participants were randomly divided into two groups: [PFMT alone (n:15) and PFMT combined with HE(n:17)]. DuoBravo EMG device for evaluation of PFM activation and "Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-20" was used to evaluate the severity of PFD. All evaluations were performed twice in total, at baseline and at week 8.

Clinical Trial Description

Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT), which provides increased structural support of the pelvic organs by improving the functional strength, endurance and coordination of the pelvic floor muscles (PFM), has been a grade A recommendation based on Level 1 evidence to improve symptoms and stages of pelvic organ prolapse (POP). On the other hand, hypopressive exercises (HE) are a group of exercises that, when applied, relax the diaphragm, activate the abdominal muscles, activate the transversus abdominis muscle by reducing intra-abdominal pressure, thus providing reflex activation in the PFM, and are known to improve urinary incontinence and POP with these features. Although there are studies investigating the effects of both exercise groups on POP, the results of the studies are contradictory and more research is needed on this subject.For this reason, in this study, the investigators aimed to compare home-based PFMT alone and home-based PFMT combined with HE in terms of PFM activation and severity of pelvic floor dysfunction in women with POP for eight weeks. ;
