Transversus Abdominis and Pelvic Floor Muscle Strengthening Exercise Program In Patients With Grade 1 Cystocele
A study testing Pelvic floor muscle training and Transverse abdominas strength training in people with Disability Physical and Urinary Incontinence, run by Riphah International University at 1 site in Pakistan.
Trial summary
Cystocele, a protrusion of the bladder, happens while the bladder descends into the vagina. There are more than one underlying causes for the development of cystocele ensuing in weak point of the muscles and the connective tissue surrounding the bladder and vagina.

About this study
Official title: Comparative Effects of Transversus Abdominis and Pelvic Floor Muscle Strengthening Exercise Program on Disability and Urinary Incontinence In Patients With Grade 1 Cystocele
Cystocele, a protrusion of the bladder, happens while the bladder descends into the vagina. There are more than one underlying causes for the development of cystocele ensuing in weak point of the muscles and the connective tissue surrounding the bladder and vagina.
This study will be a randomized clinical trial. After the department permission of physical therapy data will be collected from patient of Jinnah Hospital. Data will be collected before and after treatment. Randomization will be done by lottery method. Group A will be given pelvic floor strengthning exercises and goup B will be given transverse abdominas strengthning exercises. Each group will have 33 patients each. A 6-week physical therapy program will be planned. Group A will be given pelvic floor muscle strengthning exercise and the group B will given transverse abdominas exercises.Data will be entered and analysed by SPSS version 25.
Read the detailed description
Cystocele, in any other case called a protrusion of the bladder, happens while the bladder descends into the vagina.The bladder bulges via the anterior wall of the vagina, with which it's miles anatomically related. There are more than one underlying causes for the development of cystocele ensuing in weak point of the muscles and the connective tissue surrounding the bladder and vagina. This study will be a randomized clinical trial. After the department permission of physical therapy data will be collected from patient of Jinnah Hospital. Data will be collected before and after treatment. Total sample size is 60. Non probability convenient sampling technique will be used. Randomization will be done by lottery method. Group A will be given pelvic floor strengthning exercises and goup B will be given transverse abdominas strengthning exercises. Each group will have 33 patients each. A 6-week physical therapy program will be planned. Group A will be given pelvic floor muscle strengthning exercise and the group B will given transverse abdominas exercises. Individual sessions will be held twice a week for 60 minutes each. Each meeting will include a theoretical portion of up to 10 minutes and a practical portion of roughly 50 minutes. Home plan will also be shared with them. Post treatment analysis will be done in order to find the effects of both regims. Data will be entered and analysed by SPSS version 25. The aim is to compare the effects of transversus abdominis and pelvic floor muscle strengthening exercise program on disability and urinary incontinence in patients with grade 1 cystocele.

| Pelvic floor muscle training | Experimental | Experimental Group (Group A) will receive pelvic floor muscle training. Two sessions a week for 6 weeks, each session lasting 45 mins. Receives: Other: Pelvic floor muscle training |

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Pelvic Floor Disability Index
The Pelvic Floor Disability index Questionnaire is a condensed version of the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory (PFDI).The PFDI-20 has 20 items and 3 scales of your symptoms. All items use the following format with a response scale from 0 to 4. Scale Scores: Obtain the mean value of all of the answered items within the corresponding scale (possible value 0 to 4) and then multiply by 25 to obtain the scale score (range 0 to 100).
Measured: 6 Weeks
Pelvic organ prolapse quantification (POP-Q)
It will be used for diagnostic purpose for prolapse and participants will only be considered as Grade 1 Cystocele on the basis of this tool. and it will also used to compare the Exercise effects on prolapse at the start and at the end of study. It uses objective and precise distance measurements to the reference point, the hymen. Cystocele and prolapse of the vagina from other causes is staged using POP-Q criteria and can range from good support (no descent into the vagina) reported as a POP-Q stage 0 or I to a POP-Q score of IV, which includes prolapse beyond the hymen. It also used to quantify the movement of other structures into the vaginal lumen and their descent.
Measured: 6 Weeks

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Pelvic floor muscle training and Transverse abdominas strength training in people with Disability Physical and Urinary Incontinence, run by Riphah International University at 1 site in Pakistan.
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 3 inclusion and 3 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 15 Dec 2022. 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 Pakistan. 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?
Pelvic Floor Disability Index (time frame: 6 Weeks). The study lists 2 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 NCT05474495, which also lists 5 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 15 Dec 2022.
