Could Video-Led pelvic exercises redefine prenatal care?
NCT ID NCT07753746
First seen Aug 07, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026
Summary
This trial tests whether pregnant women who do pelvic floor muscle exercises under remote supervision via video calls experience less urinary incontinence and better pelvic floor function compared to doing the same exercises at home on their own. The study includes 45 pregnant women aged 18-35 with a single pregnancy and a healthy BMI. Researchers will measure muscle strength, incontinence symptoms, and delivery outcomes like labor duration and mode of birth to see if the remote approach offers added benefits.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Tele-rehabilitation-based pelvic floor muscle exercises
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this approach could offer a convenient, remote way to prevent urinary incontinence during and after pregnancy, potentially improving quality of life and childbirth outcomes.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small early-stage trial, and results may not apply to all pregnant women. The benefits of remote exercise compared to standard home exercise remain uncertain, and individual adherence may vary.
