简要总结
The aim of our study is to compare the effects of hypopressive exercises with routine pelvic floor exercises in improving the frequency and severity of urinary incontinence in women and also to enhance their quality of life as it worsens after childbirth, pregnancy, and in older age.
详细描述
A randomized control trial study will be conducted in which patients with urinary incontinence will be assigned to group 1 that will receive hypopressive exercises with electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) and patients in group 2 will receive pelvic floor exercises with EMS.
The intervention will be applied (3 days/week) for 8 weeks. Four sets of 10 repetitions with a 3-minute interval between each set will be performed for group 1 in an upright position while four sets of 10 repetitions with a 2-minute interval between each set will be performed for group 2 in the sitting position.

结局指标
主要结局
Medical, Epidemiologic and Social aspects of Aging Questionnaire (MESA Questionnaire)
时间窗: 8th week
It is a reliable and validated tool to evaluate the severity and predominance of stress and urge urinary incontinence. The MESA Questionnaire consists of 15 items total divided into stress (1-9) and urge (10-15) subscales. The total score of urgency (18) and stress (27) is divided into three degrees. For urgency, a score of 1-6 is categorized as mild, 7-12 moderate, and 13-18 as severe. For stress, a score of 1-9 is categorized as mild, 10-18 moderate, and 19-27 as severe. A higher MESA score indicates more frequent symptoms overall ranges from 0-45.
International Consultation Incontinence Questionnaire Short Form (ICIQ-SF)
时间窗: 8th week
ICIQ-SF is a screening tool for incontinence. 4 main items (a total of 6) ask for a rating of symptoms in past four weeks. Item 1 and 2 are demographics so items 3,4,5 are summed for a total score. Using a score value, UI is classified as mild (1-5), moderate (6-12), severe (13-18), very severe (19-21) from a total score ranges from 0-21.
International Impact Questionnaire, Short Form (IIQ-7)
时间窗: 8th week
IIQ-7 is a reliable tool for measuring the impact on quality of life for UI patients. Calculate the mean of all items and then subtract the mean by 1, then multiply by 100/3 (0-100 range).
