Pelvic Floor Contraction in Different Positions Among Women With & Without

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Examination of pelvic floor contraction in different positions among women with and without stress urinary incontinence (SUI) will be conducted via diagnostic ultrasound. This will enable clinicians and researchers to establish an appropriate protocol for pelvic floor muscle examination and treatment.

Clinical Trial Description

The main goal of this study is to compare the ability of the pelvic floor muscles to contract in different positions among women suffering from SUI to healthy women. Secondary objectives: is to compare subjective reports of the difficulty to contract the pelvic floor muscles between the two groups, and to examine the connection between the severity of urinary leakage and the ability to contract pelvic floor muscles. The study will include 50 female participants in the ages of 18-45. Research group will include 25 participants suffering from SUI in accordance with the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Short Form (ICIQ-SF) and 25 healthy participants (grade 0 on the ICIQ-SF questionnaire). The examination will be performed with an abdominal ultrasound device in supine, sitting, standing and squatting. The Height of the bladder base will be measured during rest period and maximal contraction. The extent and direction of bladder base movement would indicate the quality of pelvic floor performance. Next, the length of contraction time will be measured. The participant would hold the maximal contraction as long as possible in order to examine muscular endurance. Rest will be given between tests. After finishing the tests in all four postures, the participants will be questioned about the degree of difficulty contracting the pelvic floor. Significance of the study: The importance of the research is about granting the clinicians and researchers additional tools in order to help establishing a protocol for pelvic floor muscle activity examination and treatment. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
