Pelvic floor disorders

This trial tests a 10-week multimodal pelvic floor rehabilitation program in children aged 5 to 18 with different types of urinary incontinence, including daytime wetting, bedwetting, or both. The program combines education, bladder and bowel training, manual techniques, and exer…

This study looks back at medical records to compare two types of pelvic floor muscle training in pregnant women: one done in a heated pool (hydrotherapy) and one done on land. The goal is to see if water-based exercises lead to better pelvic floor muscle endurance, which is impor…

This trial tests whether different ways of doing hypopressive exercises—a type of posture-based breathing exercise—can help women with pelvic floor dysfunction. About 80 women will be randomly assigned to perform the exercises with or without a specific postural program and with …

Researchers at the University of Alcala are testing whether a three-month strength and balance training program changes walking patterns and pelvic floor muscle activity in sedentary menopausal women. Thirty-four women aged 45 to 77 will either join guided training sessions twice…

Researchers are testing whether wearing shoes with small pods that disturb balance and gait can help reduce stress urinary incontinence in women. The shoes are designed to trigger pelvic muscle contractions automatically, similar to exercises that stabilize the lower back and pel…

This study looks at whether doing pelvic floor exercises during late pregnancy can improve birth outcomes and reduce urinary incontinence. About 151 first-time mothers between 28-30 weeks of pregnancy will be randomly assigned to do the exercises or not. Researchers will compare …

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: on…

This study tested whether a magnetic stimulation chair can help women with sudden, strong urges to urinate that lead to leaks. 70 women received either real or sham magnetic stimulation while sitting fully clothed. Researchers measured changes in bladder diary entries, questionna…

This study is testing whether pelvic floor exercises can change the thickness of the abdominal muscle and improve bladder emptying in women with pelvic floor disorders. Forty women aged 20 to 40 will be split into two groups: one doing the exercises and one not. Using ultrasound,…

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…

This completed study in Poland followed 345 first-time mothers who had a vaginal delivery. Researchers checked pelvic floor muscle function and measured separation of the abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) shortly after birth and again 3-4 months later. The goal was to learn how…

This study looked at 80 women with stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine when coughing or sneezing) to compare three common surgeries: TOT, TVT, and Burch colposuspension. Researchers used ultrasound to measure changes in the bladder and urethra before and 3 months after sur…
