简要总结
This study will be conducted to investigate the effect of pelvic floor down-training on women with idiopathic overactive bladder
详细描述
The relationship between overactive bladder (OAB), constipation, and overactive pelvic floor muscles is complex and interrelated. OAB increases the likelihood of overactive pelvic floor muscles, and conversely, hyperactive pelvic floor muscles can exacerbate OAB symptoms. Non-relaxing pelvic floor dysfunction often presents with urinary symptoms, including increased frequency, hesitancy, urgency, dysuria, bladder pain, and occasionally urge incontinence Pelvic floor down-training exercises targeting the rectum provide a safe, conservative way to manage constipation, which may in turn help relieve OAB. Unlike medications or surgery; these exercises are generally safe and easy to incorporate into daily life. However, more studies are needed to evaluate their effectiveness, especially for treating idiopathic OAB in women. Filling this research gap will provide clearer clinical guidance on managing the interplay between OAB, constipation, and pelvic floor hyperactivity. So this study will be the first to investigate the effect of pelvic floor down-training on symptoms of idiopathic OAB in women.

结局指标
主要结局
Rectal resting pressure
时间窗: 8 weeks
Biofeedback with intra-rectal probe (Myo200 manometer produced by Gymna. Bilzen. Belgium) will be used to measure rectal resting pressure before and after treatment for all women in both groups. Resting pressure is a good reflection of internal anal sphincter tone. The high resting pressure measures indicate pelvic floor hypertonicity which can indicate the presence of constipation.
Rectal bearing pressure
时间窗: 8 weeks
Biofeedback with intra-rectal probe (Myo200 manometer produced by Gymna. Bilzen. Belgium) will be used to measure rectal pressure during the bear-down maneuver before and after treatment for all women in both groups. the high pressure is an indicative of obstructed defecation.
Overactive Bladder Symptom Score (OABSS):
时间窗: 8 weeks
It will be used for assessing the severity of bladder symptoms before and after treatment for all women in both groups. The OABSS is validated, correlates well with other measures, and has high reliability. it measures the severity of overactive bladder symptoms like daytime frequency, nocturia, urgency, and urge incontinence. After the patient finishes the questionnaire, it will be collected for scoring, with each symptom scored separately and a total score calculated. The general score will be classified into three severity categories based on the total score: mild (0-5), moderate (6-11), and severe (12-20).
Assessment of overactive bladder symptoms
时间窗: 8 weeks
The Overactive Bladder Assessment Tool (OAB-BAT) evaluates bladder symptoms before and after treatment for all women in both groups. The OAB-BAT demonstrates strong construct validity and high reliability. It assesses frequency, urgency, and incontinence. It consists of 5 questions ranging from 0 to 5 for each. the higher scores indicating more severe symptoms.
Assessment of quality of life
时间窗: 8 weeks
The Overactive Bladder Assessment Tool (OAB-BAT) evaluates the quality of life of women with overactive bladder before and after treatment in both groups. The OAB-BAT demonstrates strong construct validity and high reliability. It consists of 6 questions ranging from 0 to 5 for each. the higher scores indicate poor quality of life.
Constipation scoring system
时间窗: 8 weeks
It is a questionnaire designed to evaluate the severity of constipation and has the advantage of not requiring digital rectal examination. It is valid and reliable and has a score ranging from 0 (minimum) and 30 (maximum), the higher the score, the more the severity of constipation symptoms.
Five-item score for obstructed defecation syndrome (ODS-S)
时间窗: 8 weeks
The questionnaire consists of 5 items: excessive straining, incomplete rectal evacuation, use of enemas and/or laxatives, vaginal-anal-perineal digitations, and abdominal discomfort and/or pain. Each item was graded from 0 to 5 with a score ranging from 0 (no symptoms) to 20 (very severe symptoms).
