NCT ID NCT07710911

First seen Jul 17, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026

Summary

This study compares two types of exercise programs—hypopressive exercises and core stability exercises—to see which better helps restore pelvic floor and abdominal muscle function in women who gave birth within the last six months. Thirty-six participants will follow a four-week program, and researchers will measure changes in abdominal muscle separation using ultrasound. The goal is to find an effective way to improve recovery after childbirth.

Active substance
hypopressive exercises and core stability exercises
What this could lead to
If effective, hypopressive exercises could offer a targeted approach to strengthen pelvic floor and abdominal muscles after childbirth.
What could go wrong
This is a small, short-term study with 36 participants, so results may not apply to all postpartum women. The exercises may not outperform standard core stability training.
