About this study
Official title: Investigation of the Effects of Spinal Stabilization Exercises Focusing on the Pelvic Floor on Core Stability, Urinary Symptoms, and Pelvic Floor Muscle Function in Women With Multiple Sclerosis and Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of spinal stabilization exercises focusing on the pelvic floor on core stability, urinary symptoms and pelvic floor muscle function in women with Multiple Sclerosis and lower urinary tract symptoms. Participants will be randomly assigned to a control group that receives pelvic floor muscle exercises only or an experimental group that receives both pelvic floor muscle exercises and spinal stabilization exercise focused on the pelvic floor. Outcome measures will be assessed pre- and post-intervention using validated instruments.
Read the detailed description
In multiple sclerosis (MS), disruption of the neural pathways responsible for bladder control leads to the development of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). These symptoms, observed in approximately 32-96% of individuals with MS, have a significant negative impact on quality of life. Conservative management of LUTS includes lifestyle modifications, bladder training, and pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT). Although the effectiveness of PFMT has been demonstrated, there is no standardized protocol regarding exercise type or duration, indicating a gap in the literature concerning the identification of the most effective approach. Moreover, existing studies emphasize that the effective contraction of pelvic floor muscles requires the simultaneous activation of deep core muscles, particularly the transversus abdominis. This suggests that pelvic floor rehabilitation without the involvement of abdominal muscles may be insufficient. Spinal stabilization exercises target deep core muscles to enhance neuromuscular control, strength, and endurance. Recently, "spinal stabilization exercises focusing on the pelvic floor" have emerged as a promising strategy in the management of urinary incontinence. However, research on trunk control in individuals with MS remains limited and primarily focuses on neurological symptoms, with minimal attention given to LUTS and pelvic floor function.
This study is designed as a prospective, randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effects of spinal stabilization exercises focusing on the pelvic floor, delivered in addition to PFMT, on core stability, urinary symptoms, and pelvic floor muscle function in women with MS and LUTS. Eligible participants who consent to join the study will be randomly allocated into two groups using block randomization. The control group will receive PFMT alone, while the experimental group will receive PFMT combined with spinal stabilization exercises focusing on the pelvic floor . Both interventions will be delivered three times per week for eight weeks. Primary and secondary outcomes will be assessed using validated objective and subjective tools at baseline and post-intervention.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Evaluation of Urinary Symptoms
Urinary symptoms will be assessed with the International Incontinence Questionnaire Short Form. The International Incontinence Questionnaire Short Form consists of a total of six questions. The total score is obtained by summing the scores of questions 3, 4 and 5. Scores that can be obtained from the scale vary between 0-21; a low score indicates that urinary incontinence affects quality of life a little, while a high score indicates that it affects it a lot.
Measured: 8 week
Evaluation of Bladder Functions
A bladder diary will be used to assess bladder function for lower urinary tract symptoms. Patients will be asked to complete a 24-hour bladder diary on three non-consecutive days. Average day-night voiding frequency, voiding volume and number of urinary incontinence will be calculated by averaging the three daily urinary diaries.
Measured: 8 week
Secondary outcomes (11)
Evaluation of the degree of urinary symptoms
Overactive Bladder-Version8 will be used to assess the degree of lower urinary system symptoms due to overactive bladder. The score to be obtained from the scale ranges from "0" the best to "40" the worst. If the total score on the scale is more than 8, the subjects are considered to have possible lower urinary tract symptoms.
Measured: 8 week
Evaluation of Pelvic Floor Muscle Function
Pelvic floor muscle function will be evaluated with the 632 Myomed biofeedback device. The pressure probe and device will be disinfected in each individual before the application and the probe will be used with a condom to ensure the hygiene of the individual. During the assessment, the pressure probe will be inserted intravaginally while the individual is supine, knees bent and slightly apart. Assessment results will be recorded in hectopascal.
Measured: 8 week
Evaluation of pelvic floor muscle strength
Vaginal palpation method will be used to measure pelvic floor muscle strength. The assessment will be performed in supine position, with hips and knees flexed and soles of the feet in contact with the bed. After taking the necessary hygiene measures, the physiotherapist will place the index and middle finger intravaginally. The individual will then be asked to pinch the physiotherapist's fingers and pull upwards for pelvic floor muscle contraction. The outcome value will be scored with the Modified Oxford grading system.
Measured: 8 week
Evaluation of the endurance of the lateral core muscles
The lateral bridge test will be used to assess the endurance of the lateral core muscles. Individuals will be asked to place their forearms and feet on the side of one side in a position to carry their body weight, then they will be asked to maintain this position by lifting their hips from the bed. The test will be terminated when the proper posture is broken or the pelvis falls on the bed, and the time from maintaining the proper position to breaking the position will be recorded in seconds. The test will be performed separately on the right and left side.
Measured: 8 week
Evaluation of the endurance of the anterior core muscles
Flexor endurance test will be used to assess the endurance of the anterior core muscles. Individuals will be placed on the bed with their trunk at 60°, knees and hips at 90° flexion and supported by their feet. In this position, the time in seconds will be recorded until they lose 60° of trunk flexion.
Measured: 8 week
Evaluation of endurance of the posterior core muscles
The extensor endurance test will be used to evaluate the endurance of the posterior core muscles. Individuals will lie in a prone position with pelvis, hips and knees supported on the bed and the upper trunk will be positioned on the edge of the bed in a straight, slightly extended position. Individuals will be stabilized by their feet. The test will be terminated when the trunk falls from the horizontal position to flexion and the time in this position will be recorded in seconds.
Measured: 8 week
Evaluation of Deep Lumbar Muscular Strength
Stabilizer Pressure Biofeedback device will be used to assess deep lumbar muscular strength. Individuals will be asked to lie in a prone position and keep their knees in a straight position, their spine straight and their head in a comfortable position. The cushion of the measuring device will be placed under their abdominal area with the air completely deflated. After the manometer needle is set to 70 mm/Hg, the individuals will be asked to contract the transversus abdominous muscles for 5 seconds as taught. The test will be performed for 10 s and 3 repetitions and the average of the results of the 3 tests will be recorded in mm/Hg.
Measured: 8 week
Evaluation of Quality of Life
King Health Questionnaire will be used to assess quality of life. The questionnaire consists of two parts and includes 32 items. . On the complaint severity scale, the best score is "0" and the worst score is "30". In other subsections of the King Health Questionnaire, the best score is "0" and the worst score is "100".
Measured: 8 week
Evaluation of Subjective Perception of Recovery
The Global Perceived Impact scale will be used to assess the subjective perception of improvement after the training. Participants will be asked to rate on a scale of 1 to 9 the extent to which their complaints have improved compared to before the training. The description of the scores is; '1' 'much improved', '2' 'much improved', '3' 'moderately improved', '4' 'slightly improved', '5' 'unchanged', '6' 'slightly worsened', '7' 'moderately worsened', '8' 'much worsened', '9' 'much worsened'.
Measured: 8 week
Evaluation of Perceived Health Problem
The health problem perceived by individuals will be assessed with the Patient-specific complaints instrument. The numbered classification scale-11 (0-10) will be used for scoring. The individual will be asked to give a score between 0-10 for the severity of the problem caused by lower urinary tract symptoms as perceived by the individual. 0 means "no complaint at all" and 10 means "very severe complaint".
Measured: 8 week
Evaluation of Compliance with Training
The compliance of the individuals with the training will be evaluated using a 10-centimeter visual analog scale. At the end of the study, the individuals in the control and experimental groups will be asked to evaluate the training program given to them by marking the place that best expresses themselves on a 10 cm line between 0 (I did not apply the treatment given at all) and 10 (I applied the treatment given completely). The distance between the marked point and the starting point will be recorded.
Measured: 8 week
