简要总结
The aim of our study is to investigate the effects of pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) on pelvic floor muscle strength, sexual functions, bladder symptoms and quality of life in women with overactive bladder (OAB).
详细描述
Overactive bladder (OAB) is defined by the International Continence Association as an "urgency with or without urge urinary incontinence, often accompanied by frequency and nocturia." Accordingly, pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) plays an important role in the management of OAB. However, a recent systematic review suggests that PFMT is insufficient against OAB.

结局指标
主要结局
Pelvic floor muscle strength
时间窗: change from baseline at 6 weeks
The pelvic floor muscle strength of the patients will be evaluated by digital palpation. Change in pelvic floor muscle strength as measured with the Modified Oxford Scale, which ranges from 0 to 5
Sexual Function
时间窗: change from baseline at 6 weeks
Female sexual function will be assessed using the Female Sexual Function Index. This 19-question questionnaire deals with the subject in a multidimensional way by questioning the states of desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction and pain. The highest raw score that can be obtained from the questionnaire is 95, and the lowest raw score is 4.
次要结局
- Urinary frequency, nocturia and the number of urinary incontinence(change from baseline at 6 weeks)
- Life quality(change from baseline at 6 weeks)
- OAB symptoms(change from baseline at 6 weeks)
