Clinical Trial Summary

Urinary incontinence (UI) is defined as any involuntary loss of urine. It affects a significant percentage of the population, mainly female, with a prevalence of 21.4% in Portuguese women, having a negative impact on quality of life and sexual function. About half presents with stress UI (SUI), followed by mixed UI (MUI), with isolated urgency UI being less common. Pelvic floor rehabilitiation is a first line treatment for SUI and MUI, however, it is not yet defined which is the best treatment program or the ideal strategies to improve adherence to it. Telerehabilitation assumed a leading role in the covid pandemic phase, although there are few studies on pelvic floor rehabilitation for UI, none in Portugal to date. The authors aim to evaluate the effectiveness of a hybrid program of pelvic floor rehabilitation in female patients with SUI and MUI with a predominance of SUI, including consultation and face-to-face sessions complemented with telerehabilitation.


Description:

Randomized longitudinal study including consecutively admitted patients on pelvic floor rehabilitation consultation of the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department of Centro Hospitalar São João for conservative treatment of UI. Patients who meet the inclusion criteria and do not meet any of the exclusion criteria will be randomized one to one between the intervention group and the control group. The intervention group includes a hybrid program of face-to-face sessions followed by sessions of video, while the control group develops the entire program in face-to-face sessions. The effectiveness of the program will be assessed by the results in the UI-related quality of life (primary outcome); UI severity, patient's overall perception of improvement, sexual function, depression/anxiety symptoms and satisfaction and adherence to treatment (secondary outcomes).
