Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study looked at whether a remote physiotherapy session works as well as an in-person one for teaching pelvic floor exercises to women with urinary incontinence. 92 women who could not properly contract their pelvic floor muscles were randomly assigned to a face-to-face session, a real-time remote session, or no instruction. The main goal was to see if both teaching methods improved muscle contraction ability equally.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
physiotherapy instruction session
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that remote instruction is as effective as in-person sessions, making pelvic floor therapy more accessible.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study (92 participants) comparing teaching methods, not testing a new treatment. Results may not apply to all women or settings.
