Summary
This study tests a program that combines online educational videos with in-person exercises to help young female athletes (ages 15-22) who experience urinary incontinence during sports. The program focuses on pelvic health education and strengthening the lower back and abdominal muscles. Researchers will measure changes in incontinence symptoms using a standard questionnaire. The trial aims to enroll 198 participants from French athletics clubs.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- pelvic health education and lumbar-pelvic-abdominal stability exercises
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide a simple, non-invasive program to help young female athletes manage or reduce urinary incontinence without medication or surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with no comparison to other active treatments. The program involves online videos and in-person sessions, so results may vary based on participation and adherence.
