This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing

Summary

This study compares four different methods for teaching pelvic floor muscle exercises to healthy adult women: brochure, verbal instructions, visual aids, and external palpation. Sixty participants will be randomly assigned to one of the four groups, and their ability to correctly contract the muscles will be measured using ultrasound and physical exam. The goal is to find the most effective teaching approach, which could later improve training for women with pelvic floor disorders.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Pelvic floor muscle training (brochure, verbal, visual, or palpation-based instruction)
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could identify the best way to teach pelvic floor exercises, leading to better training programs for women with urinary or pelvic floor problems.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study in healthy women, so results may not apply to those with pelvic floor disorders. The study only measures short-term learning, not long-term health outcomes.
