Clinical Trial Summary

This is a single center, investigator initiated study, sponsored by the UZ Leuven, Leuven, Belgium; comparing laser treatment to pelvic floor exercises (PFE). Women with symptomatic prolapse (grade II-IV) who seek for a conservative treatment, with no history of previous POP-surgery will be randomised to either the laser-arm or the PFE-arm. There are 3 visits where vaginal application of laser will be performed, with a 4-weeks interval. Each application lasts around 15 minutes. The vaginal laser procedure will be performed in an outpatient setting, not requiring any specific preparation, analgesia or anesthesia, by one of two experienced operators. The primary objective is to evaluate the effects of VEL treatment for reduction of prolapse symptoms and as a secondary outcome objective measurements. These endpoints are in line with the recommendations by Durnea et al., as being the most relevant and patient centered outcomes. The second goals are to register adverse events and to determine for how long the effects of laser are sustained, with a maximum of two years. To do so, the investigators will measure long term satisfaction with, and the longevity of the effect (measured by the need for repeat or alternative therapy) of laser therapy. Duration of follow-up per patient: max 27 months
