Filter by:Effects of an exercise program based on hypopressive exercises in the female population.
Aim: To verify the effects of the abdominal hypopressive technic (AHT) associate or not with pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) in urinary incontinence (UI) symptoms and pelvic floor muscle strength. Methods: Randomized controlled trial. Thirteen incontinent women were randomly divided into an AHT group or AHT+PFMC group. Outcome assessment was carried out using digital palpation (modified Oxford grading scale), Peritron perineometer, and the International Consultation Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form (ICIQ-SF) questionnaire. The treatment protocol consisted of five twice-weekly, 40-min one-on-one sessions. The participants were assessed only at baseline and after the intervention. Results: It is expected that the group who performed PFMC will improve the maximal voluntary contractions (MVC) and improve urinary incontinence symptoms, while the hypopressive exercise does not.
The purpose of the study is to compare the efficacy of different modalities of hypopressive exercises and biofeedback with ultrasound in women with pelvic floor dysfunctions, considering the efficacy of the treatment as improving the specific quality of life related to pelvic floor dysfunctions and improvement of the muscular properties of the pelvic floor muscles.
The purpose of the study is to compare the efficacy of different modalities of motor learning of pelvic floor muscle contraction in women with pelvic floor dysfunctions, considering the efficacy of the treatment as improving the specific quality of life related to pelvic floor dysfunctions and improvement of the muscular properties of the pelvic floor muscles.
The purpose of the study is to directly compare two medical treatments for faecal incontinence: Renew™ Anal Insert and Percutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation (PTNS) for a period of 12 weeks. Both are routinely used in our practice.
Pelvic floor disorders (PFD) can adversely affect the quality of life of a woman and they can occur during different stages of female life such as during pregnancy, early postpartum period or during menopause. It is well known that pregnancy and vaginal birth are significant risk factors in the etiology of PFD and predicting models like UR-CHOICE score were developed for this reason to provide mothers-to-be with sufficient information regarding their subsequent risk of PFD. Pregnancy, childbirth and the immediate postpartum period, where the demands on the pelvic floor and the incidence of pelvic floor trauma are particularly high, offers an optimal opportunity for such counseling and prevention.
1. To determine if the adjunctive use of a Virtual Reality (VR) module on diaphragmatic breathing (DB) can improve the quality of life (QOL) and symptoms of children with functional constipation (FC) with pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) who are receiving standard of care treatment. 2. To assess if a VR module on DB can decrease healthcare utilization for children with FC with PFD.
This is a randomized controlled trial to determine if there is a difference between chlorhexidine gluconate and povidone iodine vaginal preparations for urogynecological surgery post operative infections.
This trial will assess whether use of intraurethral 2% lidocaine jelly meaningfully impacts sensation during filling (i.e., a change of more than 25% of first sensation, first desire to void, strong desire to void, or maximum cystometric capacity) and determine whether the use of intraurethral 2% lidocaine jelly meaningfully impacts pain/discomfort, filling metrics, and voiding metrics.
The aim of the study is evaluation of the efficiency of pelvic floor muscles in the context of surgical outcomes in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse.
