简要总结
The objective of the study is to compare the effects of visceral manual therapy associated with pelvic floor muscle training on urinary incontinence symptoms, vaginal resting pressure and maximum voluntary contraction of the pelvic floor muscles in women. This is a randomized controlled trial with double blinding. Participants will be randomized into two groups: control and experimental. Both groups will undergo a pelvic floor muscle training program twice weekly for 5 consecutive weeks. Participants in the intervention group will also receive, once a week, a visceral manual therapy protocol and control group participants will receive a manual sham therapy protocol.
详细描述
This study is a double-blind randomized controlled trial with two groups. Participants will be evaluated by a trained blinded investigator and assigned randomly to the experimental and control groups. Both groups will undergo a pelvic floor muscle training program twice weekly for 5 consecutive weeks. Participants in the intervention group will also receive, once a week, a visceral manual therapy protocol and control group participants will receive a sham manual therapy protocol. Participants who agree to participate in the survey will sign a Free and Informed Consent Form and will be informed of the possibility of withdrawing from the survey at any stage, without penalty. The collection of the evaluation and intervention will be carried out in a salon Clinic School of Physiotherapy in the Center of Health and Sports Sciences (CEFID) of the State University of Santa Catarina (UDESC) in the city of Florianópolis - SC. All personal identification data of the participants will be preserved according to resolution of the national health council, taking into account the possibility of scientific dissemination of the results obtained. The risks of these procedures will be medium, since the participant may present muscle pain after the intervention protocol. To minimize these risks will be available, if necessary, attendance at the Clinic School of Physiotherapy. The sample will be selected in a non-probabilistic way for convenience. The participants will Female volunteers , aged from 18 years with urinary incontinence.

结局指标
主要结局
Change from baseline in symptoms of urinary incontinence and its impact on quality of life
时间窗: Pre intervention, week 3 and 1 week post intervention
This outcome will be measured through the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire - Short Form. This is a self-administered questionnaire designed to assess the frequency, severity, and impact of urinary incontinence on the quality of life of patients of both sexes. It consists of four items. The first three assess the frequency, severity, and impact of urinary incontinence on quality of life. From the sum of these three items the total score is obtained, which can vary between 0 and 21 points. The higher the score, greater the severity of the symptoms of urinary incontinence. The overall score can be divided into four severity categories: mild (1-5 points), moderate (6-12 points), severe (13-18 points), very severe (19-21 points). The fourth item does not enter the total score but serves to determine the type of urinary incontinence (stress, urgency or mixed).
次要结局
- Change from baseline in maximum voluntary contraction of the pelvic floor muscles(Pre intervention and 1 week post intervention)
- Change from baseline in vaginal resting pressure(Pre intervention and 1 week post intervention)
