Summary

This trial tests whether biofeedback-assisted pelvic floor muscle training can improve sexual function and quality of life in women who had a hysterectomy. Participants will either receive standard post-hysterectomy care or the same care plus biofeedback using a vaginal sensor that provides real-time feedback on muscle contractions. The study measures changes in sexual function, pelvic floor strength, and symptoms like incontinence and prolapse over 12 weeks.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Biofeedback-assisted pelvic floor muscle training using an EMG-based vaginal sensor
What this could lead to
If effective, this approach could offer a non-drug way to improve sexual function, reduce incontinence, and enhance quality of life for women after hysterectomy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial, and results may not apply to all women. The training requires active participation and may not work for everyone.
