The Effects of Pelvic Floor Muscle Training Combined With Otago Exercises

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

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 whether pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) combined with Otago exercises is effective on symptoms, balance and functional status in elderly people with UI living in nursing homes, compared to PFMT alone.

Clinical Trial Description

The research was conducted on participants over the age of 65 with urinary incontinence living in a nursing home. After these participants were informed about the content of the study, a signed informed consent form will be obtained. This study is an assessor-blinded, randomized controlled trial. Participants with incontinence aged 65 and over living in a nursig home were randomly assigned to intervention (IG) and control group (CG). The intervention group attended an exercise program that included Otago exercises combined with pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT). The control group was included in the PFMT program with different positions. Duration of exercise for both groups was 45-60 minutes per session three times a week for 12 weeks. Incontinence symptoms and severity (Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-20, bladder diary), PFM muscle function (superficial electromyography), balance (Berg Balance Scale), functional status (Senior Fitness Test) and fear of falling (Falls Efficacy Scale) was measured at baseline and after the intervention. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
