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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- 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.
