Wrist device reveals how fast women recover after prolapse surgery
NCT ID NCT07218016
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
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 recovery instructions, while others get an exercise-focused plan. The goal is to see which approach helps women feel "mostly recovered" sooner.
