An interventional study of Transperinal ultrasound guided instruction in pelvic floor muscle training in Incontinence, Urinary and Radical Prostatectomy, sponsored by Regional Hospital West Jutland. Recruiting at 1 site in Denmark. Open to male participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2022-11-22.
Sponsored by Regional Hospital West Jutland · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
The aims of this project are; 1) To examine the efficacy of ultrasound-guided pelvic floor muscle training compared to standard care on urinary incontinence in patients undergoing robot assisted radical prostatectomy and 2) To compare physical function, incontinence, and QoL in two groups of patients with low or high function of the pelvic floor muscles respectively before the surgery.
This study consists of two parts. The first part is a randomized controlled trial where 44 patients with weak pelvic floor muscle function are randomized to either treatment as usual (control group 1) or ultrasound-guided pelvic floor muscle training (Intervention group). In the second part the patients in control group 1 will be compared with 22 patients with normal/strong pelvic floor muscle function (control group 2).
Patients not able to perform the pelvic floor muscle test consisting of 8 repetitions of 4-seconds pelvic floor muscle contraction and 1 repetition of 15-seconds pelvic floor muscle contraction will be randomized to either intervention group or control group 1. Patients able to perform the pelvic floor muscle test will be included in control group 2.
1,363 studies on the registry are indexed under Urinary Incontinence; 228 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 66 is close to the median of 66 across 1,011 interventional studies indexed under Urinary Incontinence.

Exclusion Criteria:
The intervention group receives same treatment as the control groups and in addition transperinal ultrasound guided instruction in pelvic floor muscle training at 2nd and 3rd session.
Other: Transperinal ultrasound guided instruction in pelvic floor muscle training
The patients recieve standard care including three physiotherapist sessions; within one week preoperatively, one week postoperatively at catheter removal, and six weeks postoperatively
The patients recieve standard care including three physiotherapist sessions; within one week preoperatively, one week postoperatively at catheter removal, and six weeks postoperatively
The physiotherapists uses transperinal ultrasound as a biofeedback or pedagogical tool to improve the muscle contractions and visualize the muscle work.
24-hour pad weigh test
The patients have to weigh their pads before use and retain them in sealed plastic bags for repeated weight assessment when the 24-hour period has ended. The total increase in weight (gram) of all the pads will be recorded
Time frame: 12 month after the operation
