NCT ID: NCT06296134 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Pelvic Floor Disorders

Perineal Massage in Pregnancy to Reduce the Levator Ani Coactivation

CO-LAM23
Start date: March 11, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the efficacy of the perineal massage in reducing the levator ani muscle (LAM) co-activation. This phenomenon is characterized by the LAM contraction rather than its relaxation during the Valsalva maneuver and it is associated with adverse obstetric outcome. Participants who co-activate will be enrolled and randomized in 2 groups: group A, where women themselves perform the perineal massage during the third trimester of pregnancy and group B, where women undergo the standard care. Researchers will compare these groups to see if the perineal massage is able to reduce LAM co-activation.

Effectiveness of Multimodal Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation Program in Children With Different Types of Urinary Incontinence

Start date: February 1, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Urinary incontinence is defined by the International Children's Continence Society as involuntary urinary leakage that can be continuous or intermittent in children aged five and over. Urinary incontinence is divided into subgroups of daytime incontinence, nocturnal enuresis and combined daytime incontinence and nocturnal enuresis. Different pelvic floor rehabilitation programs appear to be effective in children with daytime incontinence and nocturnal enuresis but mostly focus on the pelvic floor muscle training component. However, pelvic floor rehabilitation includes many components such as education, lifestyle changes, manual techniques, pelvic floor muscle training, functional exercises, biofeedback therapy, electrical stimulation and home program. However, there is no study examining the effectiveness of a multimodal pelvic floor rehabilitation program in the treatment of children with urinary incontinence. It is also unclear for which urinary incontinence type the multimodal pelvic floor rehabilitation program will be more effective. Therefore, investigators aim to compare the effects of a multimodal pelvic floor rehabilitation program on lower urinary tract symptoms, pelvic floor muscles and other related muscle functions in children with different urinary incontinence types. Children between the ages of 5 and 18 who were diagnosed with urinary incontinence by applying to Ege University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Pediatric Urology will be included in the study. Participants will be divided into three groups: daytime incontinence, nocturnal enuresis, and combined daytime incontinence and nocturnal enuresis. A multimodal pelvic floor rehabilitation program will be performed on all children for 10 weeks, two days a week and approximately 45 minutes. A multimodal pelvic floor rehabilitation program will include education, bladder and bowel training, manual techniques, exercise training (diaphragmatic breathing exercise, pelvic floor muscle training, trunk stabilization exercises based on developmental kinesiology) and a home program. Children's lower urinary symptoms will be assessed with the Dysfunctional Voiding and Incontinence Scoring System, Bladder and Bowel Dysfunction Questionnaire, Childhood Bladder and Bowel Dysfunction Questionnaire, bladder and bowel diary, and the functions of the pelvic floor muscles and other related muscles will be assessed with superficial electromyography and ultrasonography.

The Effects of Postisometric Relaxation Technique in Female Patients With Dyssynergic Defecation

Start date: January 15, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Functional bowel diseases are defined as chronic disorders of the gastrointestinal tract characterized by abdominal pain, bloating, tension and/or defecation abnormalities. Functional bowel diseases are studied under five headings: functional constipation, functional diarrhea, functional abdominal bloating / tightness and unclassifiable functional bowel disorders. Functional constipation is divided into three categories as normal transition-time constipation, slow transition-time constipation and defecation disorders. Defecation disorders occur due to improper use of pelvic floor muscles and anorectal muscles or anatomical abnormalities and account for 1/3 of all constipation. Defecation disorders characterized by excessive straining, incomplete defecation sensation, difficult and painful defecation are defined as narrowing of the fecal exit path due to involuntary pelvic floor contractions or posterior compartment pelvic organ prolapse. Non-pharmacological treatment in the treatment of functional constipation is considered as the first-line treatment and includes information about the nutrition, fiber-liquid consumption, physical activity and toilet training of patients. Biofeedback therapy is often recommended in patients with defecation disorders in the literature, and there are studies showing that it is superior to laxative use and placebo applications in the studies conducted. However, the fact that it is difficult and costly to achieve Biofeedback treatment, the method used allows movement at a certain angle and does not include the stretching method seems to be a disadvantage. Postisometric Relaxation technique is used in cases of pain, muscle spasm and movement limitations. People with defecation disorders experience spasms, pain and movement limitations in the pelvic floor muscles. For this reason, the investigators think that the Postisometric Relaxation technique may be effective in patients with defecation disorders, and it will also provide advantages due to the fact that the method is easily accessible, does not require extra materials and devices, and has a stretching effect. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of Postisometric Relaxation technique on constipation severity, quality of life, anal pain, muscle function and sexual function in patients with defecation disorder.

NCT ID: NCT06206993 Active, not recruiting - Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials

Effects of Kieser Resistance Training Plus Kieser Pelvic Floor Training vs. Kieser Resistance Training Plus Traditional Pelvic Floor Exercise on Urinary Incontinence in Prostate Cancer Patients After Radical Prostatectomy

RECON
Start date: September 1, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Surgical removal of the prostate (radical prostatectomy) is the most common therapy in prostate cancer patients. However, urinary incontinence often occurs as a side effect. Although this can recede after a few weeks or months, 12 months after prostatectomy 17 - 34 % of the patients are still incontinent. An effective measure to reduce incontinence is pelvic floor muscle or sphincter training. Various methods exist for this, from pelvic floor gymnastics to training with biofeedback devices and electrical stimulation methods. Kieser Training, a Germany-wide provider of health-oriented resistance training, has a training device for pelvic floor muscle training. It is a biofeedback device that can be used in public training rooms and does not have to be inserted or glued intimately as with comparable methods. The standardized training program and concept, which allows non-invasive training in public space, has not been evaluated yet. The aim of the RECON study is to investigate whether Kieser resistance training with integrated Kieser pelvic floor muscle training is as effective as (non-inferior to) Kieser resistance training plus conventional pelvic floor muscle exercise to reduce urinary incontinence in prostate cancer patients after radical prostatectomy. The primary endpoint is the proportion of patients with urinary incontinence at the end of a 12-week training phase (using the 24h pad test). The secondary endpoints are changes in urinary leakage, other incontinence symptoms, incontinence-related quality of life, body composition and changes in strength and overall quality of life. The design is a two-arm randomized controlled trial with 180 prostate cancer patients. After the initial examination patients will be randomized to one of two groups. Patients in both groups will train for about 60 minutes twice a week for twelve weeks and additionally perform daily tension exercises at home. Patients in group A will perform the resistance training unit with the pelvic floor biofeedback device A5 from the Kieser Training AG and patients of group B will perform the resistance training unit without the pelvic floor biofeedback device A5 and undergo conventional pelvic floor muscle training with a physiotherapist once a week before the resistance training unit starts. The Recon study will be conducted at the Kieser Training Studio in Offenbach, as a cooperation project of the National Center for Tumor Diseases (NCT), Heidelberg University Hospital and the Kieser Training AG with the Kieser Training franchisee (studio owner) as PhD student at the NCT. The Kieser Training AG is not a sponsor and the study is neither financed nor sponsored.

The Effect of PVE Applied in Addition to Pilates on Premenstrual Symptoms, Pain, Sleep and QoL in Individuals With PMS

Start date: December 1, 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a condition that occurs with physical and psychological symptoms in the late luteal phase of the menstrual cycle in women and affects the physical and mental well-being of the individual. Physiological symptoms; edema, headache, fatigue, weight gain and breast swelling and tenderness, and psychological symptoms; It can be seen as tension, anger, depressed mood or stress. Although it usually ends with the onset of menstruation, its repetition with each menstrual cycle affects the individual's pain coping strategies, sleep and quality of life. Different methods such as pharmacological agents, physiotherapy applications, nutrition and lifestyle adjustments, breathing exercises, stress management, meditation and cognitive behavioral therapy are used to cope with PMS, which appears with symptoms of different severities from individual to individual.

Tele-rehabilitation for Female Athletes With Pelvic Floor Dysfunctions

ACTITUD2
Start date: September 15, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Pelvic floor dysfunctions (PFD) are especially prevalent among females. As conservative management, strengthening pelvic floor (PF) musculature under health supervision, regard an important research line. However, embarrassment of female athletes limits healthcare demands. New technologies could facilitate an autonomous but supervised tele-rehabilitation programs. This study will evaluate the effects of a 6-weeks strengthening PF program by using tele-rehabilitation, with or without intracavitary biofeedback, in the PF anatomo-functional characteristics, quality of life and sports performance of female athletes with PFD. To this end, 45 female athletes with self-reported PFD who train and compete in athletic in Spain will be recruited and randomly distributed in three groups of the experimental study. During 6 weeks, all participants will use an specifically developed Smartphone application (named ACTITUD): the control group (CG) will have access to information about PF and direct communication with healthcare team; experimental group 1 (EG1) will have access to the same information and communication, and will perform a strengthening program for PF, which will be instructed by 3D avatars, while using an intracavitary biofeedback device that will inform about vaginal pressure; the experimental group 2 (EG2) will be similar to EG1, but they will not use the intracavitary biofeedback device. Before and after these 6 weeks, anatomo-functional PF characteristics, quality of life, PFD symptoms and sports performance of all participants will be evaluated. As an additional outcome, the level of engagement of the athletes from experimental groups to complete the training program will be registered.
