Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Urinary incontinence (UI) is a common and worldwide problem.Although pelvic floor muscle training(PFMT) is the standard recommendation for conservative treatment but some patients had difficulty doing PFMT. They could not locate the pelvic floor muscles, and so could not perform the PFMT properly or increase intensity of the exercise. The authors hypothesized that rectal balloon training(RBT) may improve patients' pelvic floor recognition as well as it is another option of progressive strengthening of pelvic floor muscle. This study's aim is to combine RBT with PFMT using the water-filled balloons of Foley catheters

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study's aim is to combine RBT with PFMT using the water-filled balloons of Foley catheters. The catheter would be inserted into the rectum and used as a tool to help the patient recognize the pelvic floor muscles. The advantages of Foley catheters are that they are cheap, safe for contacting the mucosa, easy for self-insertion, and can be reused. Furthermore, we can increase the load of exercise by increasing the amount of water pushing into the balloon, and can use that as a tool for progressive resistive exercise.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Rectal Balloon Training

Subjects in combined RBT and PFMT group are taught Foley catheter insertion technique. The catheter is inserted into the rectum until the lower end of the balloon is 1 cm inside from the anus. Then the balloon is blown with clean water. Subjects will contract pelvic floor muscle in standing position by contracting the pelvic floor muscle, hold and count 1 to 5, then relax and count 1 to 5. Subjects are instructed to do the exercise 15 times/set, 3 sets/day, every day for 6 weeks.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Rectal Balloon Training

Intervention Type OTHER

Subjects in combined RBT and PFMT group are taught for foley catheter insertion technique. The catheter is inserted into the rectum until the lower end of the balloon is 1 cm inside from the anus. Then the balloon is blown with clean water starting at 10 cc. Then the volume is progress to 15 cc in 3rd week and 20 cc in 5th week

Control group

Patients receive Pelvic floor muscle training without inserting any kinds of equipment.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT)

Intervention Type OTHER

Standard pelvic floor muscle exercise (Pelvic floor muscle training;PFMT) is assigned for 6 weeks.
