Summary

This study compares two exercise approaches—pelvic floor muscle training and Pilates—to see which better reduces urinary incontinence in postmenopausal women. Twenty-four women with stress incontinence will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups for three months. Researchers will measure leakage episodes, quality of life, and pelvic floor strength before and after the program.

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 and Pilates exercises
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that Pilates is as effective as standard pelvic floor training for managing urinary incontinence in postmenopausal women.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase study with only 24 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The interventions are exercise-based, so benefits may vary and are not guaranteed.
