Clinical Trial on Pelvic Floor Sensory Testing
This study focuses on understanding how pelvic floor sensory training can help women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI). It compares the sensory abilities of women with mild SUI to those of healthy women.
Objectives
The main goal is to evaluate the differences in pelvic floor sensation between women with mild SUI and healthy controls. This will help establish reference values for sensory tests in this area.
Methods
From April to October 2023, researchers recruited 198 women: 108 healthy and 90 with mild SUI. They conducted four sensory tests to assess:
- Two-dot discrimination
- Weight perception
- Shape recognition
- 9-grid localization
Results
The findings showed that women with mild SUI had:
- Lower sensitivity in two-dot discrimination tests
- Higher thresholds for detecting two points in the pelvic floor region
No significant differences were observed in weight perception, shape recognition, or grid localization tests.
Conclusions
Women with mild SUI have reduced ability to distinguish between two points in the pelvic floor area, indicating sensory impairment.
Opportunities for Improvement
Based on the trial data, clinics can:
- Define measurable outcomes to track patient progress.
- Set clear goals for treatment plans.
- Select AI tools that meet specific clinical needs.
- Implement a step-by-step approach, starting with pilot projects to track results.
