New chair therapy vs. traditional exercises for pelvic support
NCT ID NCT06532292
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two non-surgical treatments for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) in 28 women: a special electromagnetic chair (HIFEM) and pelvic floor exercises with biofeedback. Both were compared to usual care (lifestyle advice). The goal was to see which approach better eases symptoms like pressure or discomfort. Participants received treatment twice a week for 8 weeks.
