PELVIC ORGAN PROLAPSE

This study looks at how well a mesh (GYNEMESH PS) works for women who had surgery to fix pelvic organ prolapse. About 100 women will be checked about 7 years after their surgery to see if the prolapse is still controlled. The goal is to understand long-term results and patient sa…

This study tests whether doing pelvic floor muscle exercises during pregnancy can reduce the chance of bladder leaks, bowel leaks, and other pelvic floor issues after giving birth. About 734 first-time mothers will be assigned to either a training program or standard care. The ma…

This study compares a newer surgical method (transobturator cystocele repair) with the standard native tissue repair for fixing a bladder prolapse (cystocele) in women aged 50 and older. About 592 participants will be followed to see which approach better corrects the prolapse an…

This study looks at whether a common surgery for pelvic organ prolapse can be safely performed without an overnight hospital stay. About 80 women with symptomatic prolapse will receive laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (with or without robotic help) and be monitored to see if they can …

This study looks at the best time to place a small mesh sling during robotic surgery for pelvic organ prolapse. The sling helps stop urine leakage when coughing or laughing. Researchers will compare placing the sling before or after lifting the vagina to see which timing works be…

This study tests whether a new pessary system that women can insert and remove at home works better than the standard pessary for pelvic organ prolapse. About 200 women who have never used a pessary before will be randomly assigned to either the new system or standard care. The m…

This study looks at whether adding special 'hypopressive' exercises to standard pelvic floor muscle training can better improve muscle strength, reduce pain during sex, and boost quality of life in women with early-stage pelvic organ prolapse. About 46 married women aged 45-65 wi…

This study looks at whether taking sitz baths (soaking the pelvic area in warm water) after surgery for pelvic organ prolapse helps reduce pain and improve recovery. About 112 women will be randomly assigned to either a sitz bath routine or standard care. The main goal is to meas…

This study tests whether virtual group counseling (Shared Medical Appointments) helps patients feel more prepared and satisfied before pelvic organ prolapse surgery, compared to standard individual phone calls. About 106 adults scheduled for surgery at Cleveland Clinic will fill …

This study is a long-term registry that will follow 1,000 women who have had surgery using Ethicon pelvic mesh products for stress urinary incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse. The goal is to see how well the mesh works and how safe it is over 5 to 10 years. Participants will ha…

This study follows 288 women recovering from pelvic organ prolapse surgery. Participants wear a wrist accelerometer and complete a daily recovery questionnaire. Some receive routine post-op instructions, others get exercise-focused guidance. The goal is to see which approach help…
