Brief Summary

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

The aim of our study is to investigate the effects of pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) on pelvic floor muscle strength, sexual functions, bladder symptoms and quality of life in women with overactive bladder (OAB).

Detailed Description

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

Overactive bladder (OAB) is defined by the International Continence Association as an "urgency with or without urge urinary incontinence, often accompanied by frequency and nocturia." Accordingly, pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) plays an important role in the management of OAB. However, a recent systematic review suggests that PFMT is insufficient against OAB.

Outcome Assessors

Study Groups

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

Exercise group

Fast and slow contractions will be taught in PFMT. For fast contractions, they will be asked to contract and relax the pelvic floor muscles quickly. For slow contractions, they will be asked to contract the pelvic floor muscles slowly, keep them at maximum contraction and relax slowly. Ten slow contractions in addition to 10 fast contractions will be considered as 1 set of exercises. For the first week, they will be asked to do 5 sets of exercises per day, every day. Then, the number of sets will be increased by 5 each week and the number of sets will reach 30 in the 6th week. PFMT will be applied by the patients as a home program every day of the week for 6 weeks.
