The Effects of Pelvic Floor Muscle Training and Balance Exercises in Elderly People With Incontinence

Start date: April 5, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Pelvic floor muscle weakness is one of the most important causes of incontinence. There are many studies supporting that pelvic floor muscle training prevents incontinence and reduces symptom severity, and with A level of evidence, it is among the first in the conservative treatment of incontinence. Functional status and balance problems are common in elderly people with incontinence, and it is known that functional type incontinence is common. Elderly people with incontinence most often fall while trying to get to the toilet. Balance exercises are recommended for falls and balance problems. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of pelvic floor muscle training and balance exercises on ankle muscle function, joint range of motion and balance in individuals aged 65 and over with urinary incontinence.

NCT ID: NCT06306703 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Pelvic Floor Muscle Weakness

Comparison of Teaching Methods of Pelvic Floor Muscle Contraction in Women

Start date: March 15, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The aim of our study; To evaluate the effectiveness of different teaching methods on correct pelvic floor muscle contraction in women who have not received pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) before. Women who come to the gynecology and obstetrics clinic for examination and volunteer for the study will be randomized with a computer-aided randomization program and divided into 3 groups. First of all, the pelvic floor muscles will be evaluated by ultrasonographic method and perineometer. The first group will be taught pelvic floor muscle contraction with verbal explanation, the second group will be taught with digital vaginal palpation, and the third group will be taught pelvic floor muscle contraction with the help of a perineometer. After the training, the same evaluations will be made again. The number of individuals to be included in the study will be determined by power analysis. As a result of this study, it will be decided which method can be used to teach pelvic floor muscle contraction to women accurately and effectively in clinics. The results of our study will guide clinicians in their preferences for using different teaching methods.

NCT ID: NCT06294197 Recruiting - Sexual Dysfunction Clinical Trials

Examination of the Effects of Pelvic Floor Exercises on Vaginal and Sexual Health in Postmenopausal Women.

Start date: January 13, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study; To investigate the effects of pelvic floor muscle exercises on vaginal and sexual health in postmenopausal women. Vaginal symptoms such as vaginal dryness, burning and dyspareunia occur in the postmenopausal period. Vaginal symptoms affect sexual function, leading to a decrease in quality of life. In our study, we plan to evaluate vaginal dryness, one of the vaginal symptoms, using Schirmer's Test. Also in our study; Severities of vaginal dryness, burning and dyspareunia will be evaluated with the visual analog scale (VAS), sexual function will be evaluated with the Post-Menopausal Sexuality Questionnaire and Female Sexual Function Scale, vaginal aging will be evaluated with the Daily Effect of Vaginal Aging Scale, and the presence/severity of pelvic floor symptoms will be evaluated with the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-20. The cases will be randomized into two groups and pelvic floor exercises will be given to one group. After the exercises are given, vaginal pH and moistness will be evaluated for acute effect. In the other group, vaginal PH and moisture will be measured after 5 minutes. The cases will be followed without any intervention to the control group. After 12 weeks, the same evaluations will be made to both groups and the results will be compared. The data will be compared using appropriate statistical methods (statistical significance value will be taken as p<0.05) and discussed with the literature.

NCT ID: NCT06162845 Completed - Clinical trials for Pelvic Floor Muscle Weakness

Single-blind RCT Comparing Smartphone vs. Paper-based HEP in Pelvic Floor PT

Start date: May 11, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to investigate the impact of a smartphone-based application on patient-reported outcomes for patients with pelvic floor muscle weakness, and the relationship of patient adherence to outcomes in pelvic floor physical therapy compared to the paper-based standard of care. An additional aim is the exploration and development of two patient-reported questionnaires to enhance understanding of exercise adherence in outpatient pelvic floor physical therapy and smartphone application self-efficacy. These goals will serve to improve practice recommendations for home exercise prescriptions in this patient population. Participants will be asked to complete 6 patient-reported outcome measures after they complete four, 60-minute long physical therapy treatment sessions conducted one time per week according to the current standard of care for pelvic floor physical therapy. The experimental group will be given a free pelvic floor muscle exercise application while the control group will be provided with the paper-based standard of care for their home exercise program.

NCT ID: NCT05811572 Completed - Pain Clinical Trials

Investigation of Pelvic Floor Muscle Strength in Low Back Pain

Study type: Observational

To evaluate the effect of pelvic floor muscle strength on women with non-specific low back pain

NCT ID: NCT05702567 Completed - Clinical trials for Urinary Incontinence

The Effectiveness of Transvaginal Radiofrequency in Women With Stress Urinary Incontinence

Start date: January 9, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The following clinical trial investigates the efficacy of transvaginal radiofrequency in the physiotherapy treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI). The treatment compares transvaginal radiofrequency with pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) and PFMT alone. The present study is a randomized controlled trial with double blinding (evaluator and patients). The objective is to evaluate what radiofrequency can provide in the improving of the quality of life, symptoms and pelvic floor muscle strength of patients with SUI. The reason for the combination with PFMT, is that it is the golden standard treatment in pelvic floor rehabilitation and SUI improvement.
