Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of the study is to examine and compare the effects of yoga-based and pilates-based respiratory training on incontinence severity, pelvic floor muscle function and quality of life in the rehabilitation of individuals with urinary incontinence.


Clinical Trial Description

In the literature, it has been stated that the pelvic floor alone does not play a singular role in maintaining continence, but rather forms a functional unit with the diaphragm, abdominal, and spinal muscles. Since the inability of any of these structures to perform their function properly negatively affects the function of the others, normalization and optimal functioning of the pelvic floor-thoracic diaphragm relationship are crucial in individuals with urinary incontinence. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of yoga and Pilates approaches, considering breath as a fundamental building block, through respiration-based training programs in women with urinary incontinence. The participants who volunteered to take part in the study will be randomly divided into two groups, namely the Yoga-based Respiration Group (Group 1) and the Pilates-based Respiration Group (Group 2), using a computer-assisted randomization program. After the groups are assigned, the initial three sessions for both groups will be conducted face-to-face under the guidance of a physiotherapist to ensure the correct execution of the exercises. The exercise program for both groups will consist of approximately 20-minute sessions, with two sessions per day, five days a week, for a total of six weeks. On the days when face-to-face sessions are held, one session will be conducted in-person, while the other session will be performed at home. During the 3rd and 5th weeks, the exercises will be progressively intensified for both groups to ensure progression, and patients will be called for face-to-face sessions. At the end of the six weeks, patients will undergo face-to-face evaluations once again. ;
