NCT ID NCT06814743
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a 12-week program using a mobile app for pelvic floor exercises, with or without a vaginal biofeedback device, could improve symptoms and sports performance in 107 female athletes with pelvic floor disorders. Participants were split into three groups: one with only information, one with exercises, and one with exercises plus biofeedback. The goal was to see if remote, supervised training could help without embarrassment.
