Kegel Exercises for Stress Urinary Incontinence

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Study about a targeted group of women suffering from self-reported stress urinary incontinence, attend a Kegel exercise training program. The group was divided into two; supervised and unsupervised. Whilst both groups benefited from initially seeing a women's health physiotherapist for a pelvic floor muscle assessment and a bespoke Kegel exercise program, only the supervised group continued to see the physiotherapist for monthly bio-feedback training. The unsupervised group relied on their own motivation to perform their Kegel exercises as prescribed. At the end of the twelve week program, both groups had a final pelvic floor muscle strength assessment by the physiotherapist to determine any changes and subsequent improvements in urinary incontinence. Aim : Investigate and compare the efficacy of supervised Kegel exercises with biofeedback on Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) and Pelvic Floor Muscle Strength (PFMS) compared to unsupervised Kegel exercises. The primary goal of this study was to determine the effectiveness of supervised Kegel exercises using BT versus unsupervised Kegel exercises without biofeedback training, on SUI. A secondary outcome was to establish whether an improvement was observed in PFMS and subsequently, the effect of this on SUI. It was hypothesized that regular support and visual motivation and direction of BT from the physiotherapist, would provide greater results.
