About this study

Official title: Erbium:Yag Laser Versus Pelvic Floor Training for the Treatment of Women With Mild to Moderate Stress Urinary Incontinence: a Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

This is a pilot study to assess the feasibility and safety to run a randomized controlled trial that compared the effectivity of erbium:yag vaginal laser versus pelvic floor training in women with mild to moderate stress urinary incontinence.

Read the detailed description

This pilot study attempts to demonstrated the feasibility and security to run a randomized controlled study that compared the effectivity of erbium:yag laser used vaginally versus pelvic floor training, coached by a physiotherapist expert in pelvic floor disorders.

Patients are going to be randomized to pelvic floor exercises (10 sessions) or erbium:yag laser (2 sessions), and assess the results at 6 and 12 moths later on.

Being tested
Erbium Yag Laser, Pelvic Floor Training
Medical subject headings
Urinary Incontinence, Stress

What participants receive

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

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in quality of life

    In order to measure quality of life, we are going to use the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Short Form (ICQI-SF), validate to spanish and in Chile. A higher score in this scale means a worse outcome for the patient.

    Measured: The questionnaire will be applied at baseline, 6 month and 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Pad test

    A 24 h Pad test will be applied. The pad will be weighted after 24 h of use and the difference between the dry pad and the wet pad is going to be recorded. A great difference means a worse outcome for the patient.

    Measured: at baseline, 6 month and 1 year
