New study tests pelvic floor training for new moms
NCT ID NCT07426770
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two approaches to pelvic floor rehabilitation after childbirth: one group works with a specialist using physiotherapy, biofeedback, and electrical stimulation, while the other group trains at home using a mobile app. Researchers want to see if these programs can prevent or reduce pelvic floor issues like incontinence, prolapse, and pain. The study will enroll 80 women and track changes in muscle strength, organ position, and quality of life.
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 rehabilitation program (physiotherapy, biofeedback, TENS, and self-training app)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that structured postpartum rehabilitation helps prevent or reduce pelvic floor problems like incontinence and prolapse.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with 80 participants, so results may not apply to all women. The self-training group may not follow instructions consistently.
