Pelvic Floor Muscle Training in Women with Urinary Incontinence and Pelvic Organ Prolapse: A Protocol Study
Objective
To assess the impact of pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) on pelvic floor muscle (PFM) function and quality of life (QoL) in women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and pelvic organ prolapse (POP).
Methods
This study will involve 32 women with SUI and cystocele (stage I and II) in a randomized, controlled, parallel, and blinded clinical trial. The intervention will consist of 16 PFMT sessions conducted twice a week, with assessments before, during, and after treatment. Statistical analysis will be performed using descriptive analysis and repeated measures ANOVA with a significance level of p<0.05.
Ethics and Dissemination
The study has been approved by the Ethics in Research Committee and registered with the Brazilian Clinical Trials Registry ReBec. It aims to provide a deeper understanding of the efficacy of PFMT in women with SUI and cystocele, as well as insights into the efficacy of PFMT prior to surgery.
Practical Solutions and Value
Clinical trials are essential for developing safe and effective treatments. Our AI-driven platform, DocSym, consolidates ICD-11 standards, clinical protocols, and research into an easily accessible knowledge base for clinicians.
