简要总结
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Pelvic Floor Muscle Training (PFMT) in addition to high-intensity laser therapy (HILT) on pelvic floor dysfunction, sexual dysfunction, and quality of life in women with stress urinary incontinence. Women with SUI will be randomly assigned to PFMT (Group I), Laser + PFMT (Group II), and placebo laser (Group III). PFMT will be administered twice weekly for 12 weeks under the supervision of a physiotherapist. PFMT will be administered with biofeedback. HILT will be applied to six points in the perineal region . The intensity will be 6W, the energy density will be 120J/cm2, and three sessions will be administered weekly for a total of six sessions. Women included in the study will be evaluated twice, at the beginning and at the end of the treatment, with the Incontinence Quality of Life Scale (I-QOL), Incontinence Severity Index (ISI), Female Sexual Function Scale-(FSFI), and Global Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire (GPTRA).

研究组 & 干预措施
PFME
In this training, patients are taught pelvic floor exercises, which involve slow and fast muscle contractions that train both Type 1 and Type 2 muscle fibers, using vaginal palpation. During fast contractions, patients are asked to quickly contract and relax their pelvic floor muscles. The image of "turning the faucet off and on" is used to help patients better understand this exercise. During slow contractions, patients are asked to slowly tighten their pelvic floor muscles, hold them for 10 seconds, and then slowly relax them. One set of pelvic floor muscle exercises consists of 10 fast contractions and 10 slow contractions. According to this program, pelvic floor exercises are performed in weeks 1-2, 2 sets in weeks 3-4, 4 sets in weeks 5-6, 8 sets in weeks 7-8, and 10 sets in weeks 8-12. Assessments will be conducted twice, baseline and post treatment (at 12 week).

Laser was also applied to this group. Laser application is applied to 6 points in the perineal area. Continue and biostimulatory mode, intensity 6W, energy density 120J/cm2. Application time is 2 minutes for each point, and a total of 6 sessions are applied 3 time.

Plasebo Laser
This group will only receive placebo laser treatment. The ND: YAG laser system was configured identically, except for the addition of a metal shielding plate to the hand tool to block energy, which had no therapeutic effect, during treatment. The laser device will be aimed at 6 points in the perineal area . Assessments will be conducted twice, baseline and post treatment (at 12 weeks).

结局指标
主要结局
Urinary incontinence severity
时间窗: baseline, post treatment (at 12 week)
The Incontinence Severity Index (ISI): This is a two-question questionnaire that helps calculate the severity of urinary incontinence in patients. It categorizes incontinence severity into three groups: mild, moderate, and severe. It is a useful method for monitoring and assessing incontinence severity.
The impact of urinary incontinence on quality of life
时间窗: baseline, post treatment (at 12 week)
The Incontinence Quality of Life Scale (I-QOL) will be used to determine the impact of urinary incontinence on quality of life in women. It consists of questions under three headings: behavioral, psychological, and social impact. The questions will be asked of the participants and recorded.
pelvic floor dysfuntion severity
时间窗: baseline, post treatment (at 12 week)
The Global Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire (GPTRA): This questionnaire consists of nine questions addressing pelvic floor dysfunction. A higher total score indicates a greater degree of symptoms. Participants were asked questions and recorded.
