What participants receive

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

  • Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) with lumbopelvic stabilizationBehavioural

    Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) with lumbopelvic stabilization.

    1. Educating of probands about anatomy, physiology, and pelvic floor muscles functions
    2. Training of pelvic floor muscles in different position
    3. Training of pelvic floor muscles with lumbopelvic stabilization

    Exercise 5 times a week for 20-30 minutes a day, after initial training with a physiotherapist.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in incontinence episode frequency

    The investigators will compare change in incontinence episode frequency in the combined duloxetine and pelvic floor muscle training to duloxetine treatment alone

    Measured: over 12 weeks of treatment

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change in incontinence quality of life according to Incontinence Quality of Life scale (I-QoL)

    The investigators will compare change in incontinence quality of life in the combined duloxetine and pelvic floor muscle training to duloxetine treatment alone. 0 = worst quality of life, 100 = best quality of life.

    Measured: over 12 weeks of treatment

  2. Change in Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I score)

    To examine change in Patient Global Impression of Improvement in the combined duloxetine and pelvic floor muscle training to duloxetine treatment alone . 1 = much better. 7 = definitely worse.

    Measured: over 12 weeks of treatment

  3. Incidence of adverse events

    To examine incidence of adverse events in the combined duloxetine and pelvic floor muscle training to duloxetine treatment alone

    Measured: over 12 weeks of treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) with lumbopelvic stabilization in people with Stress Urinary Incontinence in Women, run by Comenius University at 1 site in Slovakia.

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 7 inclusion and 16 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 21 Jul 2020. 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 Slovakia. 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?

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?

Change in incontinence episode frequency (time frame: over 12 weeks of treatment). 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 NCT04140253, which also lists 2 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 21 Jul 2020.
