Trial summary

The pelvic floor is a crucial complex for many bodily functions, supporting the pelvic organs and contributing to urinary and anal continence, as well as sexual function. Dysfunction of this structure can lead to a variety of disorders, including urinary incontinence (UI), a common problem in women. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Urinary Incontinence and Other Pelvic Floor Dysfunctions in Trail Runners: Epidemiology and Identification of Risk Factors

The pelvic floor is a crucial complex for many bodily functions, supporting the pelvic organs and contributing to urinary and anal continence, as well as sexual function. Dysfunction of this structure can lead to a variety of disorders, including urinary incontinence (UI), a common problem in women. Although the prevalence of UI in middle-aged women has been documented at between 20% and 30%, high-impact physical activities, such as certain sports and running, increase the risk of UI. According to the most recently published meta-analysis, the prevalence is 44% [95%CI 30.2-57.8]. Although this subject is often taboo, it can have psychosocial consequences and affect sporting activities. Only 31.7% of female runners talk to a health professional about it. Trail running, a fast-growing discipline, differs from road running in its particular physical demands, which could influence the occurrence of pelvic floor disorders (PFD) and exercise-induced UTIs. The unique characteristics of trail running, such as the technical nature of the terrain, the steep gradients and the variety of distances, place intense demands on the female pelvi-perineal system. Nevertheless, despite the growing popularity of this sport, little epidemiological data exists on the prevalence of stress UTI and pelvic floor disorders among female trail runners.

What participants receive

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

  • Online questionnaireOther

    Pelvic floor dysfunction assessment questionnaire adapted from PFD-Sentinel

What is being measured

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

  1. Prevalence of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD)

    The prevalence will be determined by determining the proportion of female trail runners reporting Stress urinary incontinence and/or Pelvic floor muscle dysfunction out of the total population of trail runners who responded to the questionnaire.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Identify the risk factors associated with SUI and PFD in French trail runners.

    Identification of the relative risks of the various suspected risk factors using a multiple logistic regression model

    Measured: 6 months

  2. To assess the impact of SUI and PFD on the sporting activities and daily lives of French trail runners

    The various repercussions listed in the questionnaires will be presented in terms of the percentage of women affected and their 95% confidence interval. The averages of the visual analog scale associated with their parameters of dispersion in order to evaluate the impact of SUI on everyday life and in their sporting activities will also be presented.

    Measured: 6 months

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Aug 2024. 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 Reunion. 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.

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

Contact Nicolas Bouscaren, MD (+262 (0)2 62 35 90 00, nicolas.bouscaren@chu-reunion.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Prevalence of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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?
