About this study
Official title: Effects of Physical Training and Isoflavone Supplementation On Pelvic Floor Musculature in Women in the Postmenopausal Period: Controlled Randomized Clinical Trial
This study evaluates the effect of Physical Training and Supplementation of Isoflavone About Pelvic Floor Musculature in Women in the Postmenopausal period, and it has two groups the intervetion.
Read the detailed description
The practice of physical exercise and isoflavone supplementation are ways of treating symptoms of climacteric, there is a lack of evidence as to whether these therapeutics when associated are useful for improving the strength, function, contraction pressure, electrical activity of the pelvic floor musculature of women in the Postmenopausal period.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
ExerciseOther
The training program consisted of aerobic and resisted combined physical exercises performed during 10 weeks, three times weekly with 45 minutes sessions: 5 minutes of warm-up on treadmill, 20 minutes of aerobic exercises and 20 minutes of resistance exercises.
isoflavoneOther
Daily supplementation in 1 capsule per day of 100mg of isoflavones (containing 3.3% genistein, 93.5% dadzein and 3.2% glycitein).
placeboOther
Daily supplementation in 1 capsule per day containing starch of corn.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Group isoflavone and exercise | Experimental | The isoflavone group received daily 100mg of isoflavones. Receives: Other: Exercise; Other: isoflavone |
| Group placebo and exercise | Placebo comparator | The placebo group received 100mg containing starch of corn. Receives: Other: Exercise; Other: placebo |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
The change vaginal squeeze pressure
The vaginal squeeze pressure was measured through Perineometer.To obtain the measurements, the subjects remained positioning and vaginal sensor was introduced into the vaginal cavity. The women were oriented and motivated verbally to perform three voluntary maximal contractions sustained for five seconds and one minute interval between them. Outcome Measure of the vaginal squeeze pressure is cmH20 or Pascal.
Measured: before and after the intervetion ( 10 weeks)
The change Muscle function
"PFM" evaluation was performed by vaginal palpation .During vaginal palpation the physiotherapist introduced the index and middle fingers about 4cm inside the vagina, and requested to hold the maximum contraction of the "PFM". Muscle function was classified by the Oxford Scale Modified that five grades of the force.
Measured: before and after the intervetion (10 weeks)
The change electromyography pelvic floor
"PFM" electromyographic activity was collected during the resting to normalize the EMG data. No instruction regarding "PFM" contraction was given during the resting of the eight seconds. After, the volunteers were instructed to perform a maximal voluntary "PFM" contraction with the instruction to move "inward and upward" with the greatest possible force and to hold the contraction for five seconds. The women were oriented and motivated verbally to perform three voluntary maximal contractions sustained for five seconds and one minute interval between them.
Measured: before and after the intervetion (10 weeks)

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing Exercise and isoflavone in people with Pelvic Floor, run by Federal University of Uberlandia.
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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 May 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
The change vaginal squeeze pressure (time frame: before and after the intervetion ( 10 weeks)). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03167827, which also lists 3 linked publications.
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?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 May 2017.
