简要总结
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of clinical Pilates exercises on pain, self-esteem, body image, depression, and quality of life in women with dyspareunia. The study addresses dyspareunia as a multifaceted health problem with psychological, social as well as physical implications. it evaluates the effects of pelvic floor-focused clinical Pilates interventions on physiological symptoms and psychosocial well-being. it also demonstrates this approach as effective, safe, and evidence-based method in the treatment of dyspareunia among women in Turkish society.
详细描述
A total of 20 women with dyspareunia were included in the study. The participants were divided into two groups: the Pilates group (n = 10) and the control group (n = 10). The Pilates group underwent a clinical Pilates exercise program including pelvic floor exercises, supervised by a physiotherapist, 3 days per week for 8 weeks, while no intervention was applied to the control group. Assessments were conducted before and after the program using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), the Carol Postpartum Sexual Function and Dyspareunia Evaluation Scale (CPCFDDÖ), the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), the Body Image Scale (BIS), the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and the SF-36 Quality of Life Scale.

研究组 & 干预措施
Intervention Group (Clinical Pilates Exercises)
Clinical Pilates exercises were administered to strengthen the pelvic floor and core muscles, three times per week for 8 weeks, with each session lasting 50-60 minutes. The sessions included a warm-up phase, a main exercise program, and a cool-down phase. A total of 8 different exercises were performed in 3 sets of 10 repetitions, with progressively increased spring resistance.**
干预措施: Clinical Pilates Exercise (Other)
Control Group
A group of 10 participants with dyspareunia received education on the fundamental principles of Pilates, pelvic floor anatomy, and dyspareunia. Assessments were conducted for both groups before the intervention and were repeated 8 weeks after the intervention.**
结局指标
主要结局
Numeric Rating Scale (NRS)
时间窗: Baseline and 8 weeks
The Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) is one of the most valid and reliable numerical scales used to assess an individual's pain intensity. Scores range from 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating greater pain intensity. A score of "0" represents "no pain," whereas "10" represents "the worst pain imaginable."\*\*
