About this study

Official title: Efficacy of Personalized Extracorporeal Biofeedback Device for Pelvic Floor Muscle Training on Post-prostatectomy Incontinence

To evaluate the efficacy of postoperative pelvic floor muscle training using personalized extracorporeal biofeedback device among patients with post-prostatectomy incontinence

Read the detailed description
  • Post prostatectomy urinary incontinence (PPI) was common complication after radical prostatectomy among prostate cancer patients.
  • The prevalence of post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence was reported at 87%.
  • The pelvic floor muscle therapy (PFMT) using Kegel exercise was first methods to prevent PPI after prostatectomy.
  • However, there was no standardized protocol of the PFMT and it was necessary of biofeedback to PFMT.
  • Therefore, we hypothesis the efficacy of personalized device of PFMT with biofeedback among patients who underwent radical prostatectomy
  • In this study, we evaluate the efficacy of postoperative pelvic floor muscle training using personalized extracorporeal biofeedback device among patients with post-prostatectomy incontinence.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Extracorporeal biofeedback device (Any Kegel)Device

    Prostate cancer patients of intervention group will received extracorporeal biofeedback device (Any Kegel) for pelvic floor muscle exercise (PFME) to improve the post-prostatectomy incontinence after robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. Enrolled patients in intervention group should be performed PFME regularly, based on following protocols: total exercise time (10 minutes/day), intensity (1.2 kgf), tension duration (10 sec/ 1 contraction), total exercise number (4 times/day)

    weight of pad (g) by 24 hours pad test

    Measured: postoperative 1 month

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Recovery of urinary continence

    weight of pad (g) by 24 hours pad test

    Measured: postoperative 3 month

  2. Recovery of urinary continence

    number of pads for 24 hours

    Measured: postoperative 1 and 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Extracorporeal biofeedback device (Any Kegel) in people with Prostate Neoplasm and Prostatectomy, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Nov 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Minyong Kang, M.D.,Ph.D. (82-31-787-6631, dr.minyong.kang@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Recovery of urinary continence (time frame: postoperative 1 month). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02485665, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
