NCT ID NCT07693465
First seen Jul 09, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether the curve of the spine influences how well the pelvic floor muscles work. Researchers will measure muscle strength and endurance in women aged 25 to 35 who have never given birth. The goal is to understand if spinal posture plays a role in pelvic floor function, which could help guide future prevention or treatment strategies.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If a link is found, it could point toward better ways to prevent or treat pelvic floor disorders by addressing spinal posture.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study with no intervention, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to women who have had children or have spinal conditions.
