The Knack on Female Stress Urinary Incontinence

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of the present study is to test the hypothesis that voluntary pelvic floor muscle pre-contraction (the Knack) (alone) can be a treatment for urine leakage during efforts. For this purpose, the following parameters will be analysed and compared amongst 1) the Knack, 2) pelvic floor muscle training and 3) the Knack + pelvic floor muscle training groups: urine leakage as assessed by the pad test, urinary symptoms, muscle function, quality of life, subjective cure, adherence to exercises in the outpatient setting and at home and perceived self-efficacy of pelvic floor muscle exercises. The study population will comprise women with mild to moderate stress urinary incontinence or mixed urinary incontinente (with predominant stress urinary incontinence) as assessed by means of the one-hour pad test (leakage ≥2 g). Leakage up to 10 grams will be rated mild stress urinary incontinence and of 11 to 50 grams as moderate stress urinary incontinence. The sample will also include women with grade 2 muscle strength (normal contraction with elevation of the anterior vaginal wall) on the two-finger assessment rated according to the Oxford scale. The primary outcome measure will be the objective cure of urinary incontinence as assessed by means of the one-hour pad test three months after randomization. Secondary outcome measures: three-day bladder diary, 1 hour pad test, International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire - Short Form, Incontinence Quality of Life Questionnaire, Subjective cure of stress urinary incontinence, Self-efficacy/outcome expectation to pelvic floor muscle exercises, Frequency of the outpatient sessions, adherence to home exercises and pelvic floor muscle function, morphometry, strength and vaginal squeeze pressure.
