Summary

This trial tests whether a prenatal exercise program that combines Liuzijue qigong with traditional Kegel exercises, guided by a mobile app, can prevent postpartum urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse. Pregnant women in their third trimester will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: the combined qigong-and-Kegel program, app-supervised Kegel exercises alone, or routine prenatal care with only verbal instructions. The study will compare the rates of urinary incontinence at six weeks postpartum, as well as adherence, pelvic floor function, and anxiety levels, to see if the integrated mind-body approach offers better protection than standard care.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
A supervised mobile app-guided program combining Liuzijue qigong with traditional levator ani (Kegel) exercises, based on the MoVo behavioral theory.
What this could lead to
If effective, this approach could offer a simple, app-based exercise routine to help pregnant women avoid postpartum urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse.
What could go wrong
The trial is relatively small and the results may not apply to all women. Adherence to daily exercises could be challenging, and the added benefit over standard Kegel exercises is not yet proven.
