简要总结
The goal of the present study is to evaluate the short and long term effectiveness of a tailored assessment and educational intervention on motor control of the pelvic floor muscle in menopausal and non-menopausal women.
详细描述
Menopausal transition has been related to stress urinary incontinence. The transition from the reproductive to the non-reproductive period is induced by a decrease in sex hormone production in the ovaries. Climacteric-stage oestrogen deficiency produces genital and urinary tract atrophy, which may be related to symptoms such as urinary frequency, urinary urgency, nocturia incontinence, and recurrent urinary tract infection. Urinary incontinence seems to appear due to a combination of factors such as pelvic floor weakness and tearing, denervation and fascial tears as well as both loss of motor units and altered activation patterns. However, physiotherapy can treat weakness and altered motor control in order to compensate for other factors. In fact, physiotherapy is considered the treatment of first choice.
Besides evidence defending physiotherapy as first line conservative therapy in incontinence due to influence of strength and motor control in this pathology and its prevalence in perimenopause women, little is known about its effects in this population. Hence, the aim of this study is to evaluate the short and long term effectiveness of a tailored assessment and educational intervention on motor control of the pelvic floor muscle in menopausal and peri-menopausal women.

干预措施: Tailored assessment and educational (Behavioral)
结局指标
主要结局
Motor Control of Pelvic Floor Muscle by single questionnare
时间窗: inmediate effect post education
Women will report an outcome regarding tightening capacity after intervention. It consisted of a one item questionnaire about pelvic floor contraction capacity. It is chosen by the expert panel developed by researcher from this project. The item is a question regarding tightening capacity and it had a polychotomous answer: "How is the tightening capacity of your pelvic floor muscles? a) very high, b) high, c) good, d) optimal, e) bad, f) low, g) very low"
次要结局
- Anthropometric(baseline, inmediate effect post education and 2,4 and 12 weeks. Long time effect 6 months)
- Interview about urinary incontinence(baseline, inmediate effect post education and 2,4 and 12 weeks. Long time effect 6 months)
- The International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire (ICIQ-UI SHORT FORM)(baseline, inmediate effect post education and 2,4 and 12 weeks. Long time effect 6 months)
