Filter by:The purpose of this prospective cohort study is to investigate the effect of sling on urethral dynamic shape and motion using static and dynamic pelvic floor ultrasound and additionally compare the findings among women with successful vs failed surgical outcome.
The investigators have developed an investigation comparing electroacupuncture with pelvic floor exercises in female urinary incontinence (UI). It is a randomized clinical trial with 71 women with UI and two arms: 37 women received electroacupuncture with pelvic floor exercises and another arm with 34 women who only received pelvic floor exercises. The investigators evaluated the effectiveness using the International consultation on incontinence questionaire-urinary incontinence short form (ICQ-UI SF) Spanish version. The investigators also evaluated the safety of electroacupuncture in our sample.
Pelvic floor health workshops have previously been shown to be effective in improving postpartum knowledge, performance of pelvic floor muscle exercises, and bowel-specific quality of life. Group learning through a class focused on behavioral modification and pelvic floor muscle exercises for women with urinary incontinence, has been shown to be an effective means to educate women about urinary incontinence management. The PAKS study hopes to demonstrate whether Spanish-speaking women that undergo an informative workshop on pelvic floor disorders via video in Spanish are more likely to raise their level of knowledge surrounding pelvic floor disorders and improve the pelvic floor symptoms.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of commercially available genital vibrator use on sexual health, female pelvic floor disorders, and overall quality of life among a diverse population of women.
The investigators aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of periurethral hypertonic saline (10% NaCl) injection for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and stress-predominant mixed urinary incontinence (MUI) in women.
The main purpose of this study is to reveal the effectiveness of the Knack maneuver and lifestyle recommendations program to be given in addition to the pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) program, which has been proven to be effective in individuals with urinary incontinence symptoms after prostatectomy. This study is a prospective, controlled, randomized clinical trial. The study includes an 8-week pelvic floor muscle training, Knack maneuver and lifestyle recommendations. In summary, it is stated in the literature that PFMT and lifestyle recommendations are beneficial in the treatment of urinary incontinence (UI). However, although there is evidence of the effectiveness of the Knack maneuver in stress UI in women, there is no evidence of the Knack maneuver in urinary incontinence after prostatectomy. On the other hand, the literature on the effect of lifestyle recommendations after prostatectomy is very limited. Therefore, the aim of this study is to reveal the effectiveness of the Knack maneuver and lifestyle recommendations program, which will be given in addition to the PFMT program, which has been demonstrated in individuals with UI complaints after radical prostatectomy, in a randomized controlled design.
In this study, the effects of the external electrical stimulation (EES) added to pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) on stress urinary incontinence (SUI) were investigated.
The parent trial that supports this ancillary research is a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of a group-based yoga intervention to decrease the frequency and impact of urinary incontinence in ambulatory middle-aged and older women. Women aged 45 years and older who report daily or more frequent stress-, urgency-, or mixed-type incontinence, are not already engaged in formal yoga or muscle stretching/strengthening programs, are willing to temporarily forgo other clinical treatments for incontinence, are able to walk to and use the bathroom without assistance, and meet other eligibility criteria are being recruited from multiple locations surrounding the San Francisco Bay area. Following a series of telephone- and then clinic-based screening assessments, including a voiding diary to confirm the frequency and clinical type of incontinence, eligible women are randomized in a 1:1 ratio to participate in either a 3-month yoga program (N~120) or a time-equivalent, non-specific muscle stretching and strengthening control program (N~120). During the 3-month intervention period, participants participate in structured intervention programs (either yoga-specific or muscle stretching-strengthening) consisting of twice weekly, 90-minute group classes led by trained instructors). They are also be instructed to practice their assigned intervention for at least an additional hour per week, with the assistance of participant manuals created by the study team and a set of home yoga or stretching/strengthening exercise props. For this ancillary trial research, the investigators are examining ancillary measures of a) physical performance status, b)perceived stress, depression, and anxiety symptoms, and c) sleep quality, duration, and continuity, already incorporated by the principal investigator into the parent trial. The investigators will examine prospective relationships between these ancillary measures and participant-reported urinary incontinence frequency/severity/impact, examine intervention effects on these ancillary outcomes, and assess the extent to which these ancillary outcomes mediate intervention effects on incontinence frequency/severity/impact.
This pilot feasibility study protocol is to assess the feasibility in the future definitive trial that is the Kegel Exercise Pregnancy Training app (KEPT-app) trial. The aim of this study as follows: (1) to evaluate the recruitment capability of the pregnant women, (2) to evaluate the acceptability of the KEPT-app, (3) to determine the implementation feasibility of using KEPT-app, and (4) to determine the preliminary effectiveness of KEPT-app to improve PFMT skills of pregnant women.
The effectiveness of pelvic floor muscle training on urinary incontinence and sexual function has been known for many years. However, the evaluation of its effectiveness in people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) has recently begun and the level of evidence is limited. In addition, the applicability of pelvic floor muscle training based on telerehabilitation in the presence of a physiotherapist has not been investigated before. The aims of this study; 1. The main aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of telerehabilitation-based pelvic floor muscle training under the guidance of a physiotherapist, which will be applied for the first time. 2. Another aim is to compare this method with the effects of not receiving treatment other than usual treatment or receiving home-based pelvic floor muscle training on urinary incontinence, sexual dysfunction and psychosocial outcomes. The participants will randomly be allocated into three groups: (1) Telerehabilitation-based pelvic floor muscle training, (2) Home-based pelvic floor muscle training, and (3) Control group Telerehabilitation-based pelvic floor muscle training group will individually receive telerehabilitation-based pelvic floor muscle training under the guidance of a physiotherapist 2 sessions per week for 8 weeks. Participants will do their exercises themselves 2 times on the days where sessions are held with a physiotherapist. Participants will continue to exercise 3 times a day in the remaining days. The home-based pelvic floor muscle training group will do their individual exercises 3 times a day for 8 weeks. The control group will receive no specific training
