An interventional study of Manual therapy, exercises and education program and Education program in Urinary Incontinence,Stress, sponsored by Katarzyna Jórasz. Completed at 1 site in Poland. Open to female participants aged 25 Years to 45 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2020-04-29.

The purpose of this study is to assess the influence of the body posture correcting therapy on pelvic floor muscles function and urinary incontinence problem.
This randomized, controlled study was aimed to asses influence of a six week global posture correction therapy on pelvic floor muscles function and urinary incontinence problem. Participants were randomly divided into two groups. All subjects overcame assessment of pelvic floor muscles (sEMG, manometry and digital) and completed questionnaire about urinary incontinence problem and general health condition connected with lower tract symptoms. Both groups had a pelvic floor education (what is it, where are the pelvic floor muscle, how to correct contract them etc.) Additionally, the study group had a six week therapy focused on body posture correction. Therapy consisted of manual therapy (once per week) and correction exercises.
1,363 studies on the registry are indexed under Urinary Incontinence; 228 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 60 is close to the median of 66 across 1,011 interventional studies indexed under Urinary Incontinence.

Change in Incontinence Questionnaire-Urinary Incontinence Short Form (ICIQ-SF)
evaluating the frequency, severity and impact on quality of life (QoL) of urinary incontinence; scoring scale 0-21 (higher scores mean a worse outcome)
Time frame: 6 week (post-treatment)
Change in Oswestry Disability Index (ODI)
level of disability connected with chronic lumbar pain; scoring scale 0-50 (higher scores mean a worse outcome)
Time frame: 6 week (post-treatment)
Change in King's Health Questionnaire (KHQ)
to assess the impact of lower urinary tract symptoms including urinary incontinence on health related quality of life; the questionnarie consists of three parts; scoring scale: I-II part 0-100; III part 0-30 (higher scores mean a worse outcome)
Time frame: 6 week (post-treatment)
Change in sEMG of the pelvic floor muscles
using vaginal probe; average maximum voluntary isometric contraction and relaxation (after 5 attempts); unit of measure - mV (microvolts); higher scores mean a better outcome (contraction); higher scores mean the worse outcome (relaxation)
Time frame: 6 week (post-treatment)
Change in manometry of the pelvic floor muscles
to assess the pressure levels performed by voluntary contraction of pelvic floor muscles (after 5 attempts); unit of measure - centimeter of water column (cmH2O); higher scores mean the better outcome
Time frame: 6 week (post-treatment)
Change in digital palpation of the pelvic floor muscles using PERFECT shame
to assess power of pelvic floor muscles (P) - scoring scale 1-5 (higher is better), endurance (E) - scoring scale (higher is better), the ability to repeat the contraction with maximum strength (R) - scale 1-10 (higer is better); number of fast contractions (F) - scale 1-15 (higher is better); possibility of elevation of perineum (E) - yes/no; co-contraction of another muscles (C) - yes/no; involuntary contraction during coughing (T) - yes/no
Time frame: 6 week (post-treatment)
