Brief Summary

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

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if perineal massage combined with hip joint training works to improve pelvic function (urinary incontinence, constipation and hip motion) in pregnant women. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does the perineal massage combined with hip joint training lower the prevalence of participants who have urinary incontinence and constipation? Does the perineal massage combined with hip joint training improve the flexibility of the hip joint? Researchers will compare an intervention (perineal massage combined with hip joint training) to a comparison(regular training and treatment) to see if the intervention (perineal massage combined with hip joint training) works to improve pelvic function.

Participants will:

receive the intervention (perineal massage combined with hip joint training ) or regular training and treatment fifth a week at 36 weeks gestation before participants receive first-time intervention, they complete Demographic sociological , ICI-Q-LF, Wexner constipation and hip motion questionnaires

Detailed Description

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

Women experience varying degrees of damage to the female reproductive and urinary muscle groups during pregnancy and delivery, which can lead to a series of pelvic floor disorders, for example, pelvic organ prolapse (POP), urinary incontinence(UI), chronic constipation (CC) and other syndrome, reducing the quality of life.

This study examined the effect of perineal massage combined with hip joint training on pelvic floor function, especially on UI, CC and hip motion. This is a parallel randomised control trial. The researchers will recruit participants from the obstetrics outpatient ward. Pregnant women attending the maternity clinic who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be randomly selected and sign informed consent, then the enrolled population was randomly assigned to each group using sealed envelopes.

The intervention group will receive perineal massage combined with hip joint training; the comparison group will receive regular training.

The primary outcome is the ICI-Q-LF score; Wexner constipation score; and the secondary outcome is hip motion.

Caregivers Outcome Assessors

when the participants are enrolled in this study, they will be allocated to groups randomly by an independent researcher and sign the consent form. The care providers will not know the outcomes of this study, they just provide treatment for pregnant women; therefore, the care providers could be masked. an independent investigator will send a questionnaire to the participant, and the investigator does not know the intervention participants received; thus they could be masked.

Study Groups

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

intervention arm

perineal massage combined hip joint training

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

perineal massage combined hip joint training

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

pregnant women take the lithotomy position, disinfect the vulva, and wear sterile gloves. Then thumbs, forefingers, and middle fingers dip massage oil to do a 2 minutes pressurized dilatation massage from inside to outside gently to loosen the fascia. Then rest 30s. All steps need to be repeated 2 to 3 times. When the pregnant women feel a slight sense of acidity and tingling sensation disappears, researchers sterilize the perineal body again. left side pelvic floor receives the same intervention as right. The whole process takes 15-20min, 5 times a week until delivery. Additionally, while using the pelvic floor fascia manipulation, pregnant women are instructed to perform specific movements of internal and external hip rotation, adduction and abduction, upward and downward.
