About this study
Official title: Interventions for Geriatric Urinary Incontinence: The Effect of Intrapartum Interventions on Pelvic Floor Function
This study is a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial. Baseline data will be collected from eligible subjects recruited during the third trimester of pregnancy. Participants will be randomized into three groups when cervical dilation reaches 2 cm based on delivery position: lithotomy position, upright position, and lateral position. During the second stage of labor, data regarding delivery positions, duration of each position, and other obstetric conditions will be recorded. Pelvic floor function assessments will be performed in the postpartum period to evaluate the outcomes.
- Conditions
- Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI)
- Being tested
- Lithotomy position, Lateral Position, Upright Position
- Keywords
- Stress Urinary inconticence, Dlivery position, pevic floor muscle

- Urinary Incontinence, Stress
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Lithotomy positionBehavioural
Participants in the lithotomy decubitus position group were in the lithotomy position at the second stage of labor of delivery.
Lateral PositionBehavioural
Participants in the lateral position group were in the lateral position at the second stage of labor of delivery.
Upright PositionBehavioural
Participants in the upright position group were in the upright position at the second stage of labor of delivery.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Lithotomy Position Group | Experimental | Participants in the lithotomy position group were in the lithotomy position at the second stage of labor of delivery Receives: Behavioral: Lithotomy position |
| Upright Position Group | Experimental | Participants in the upright position group were in the upright position at the second stage of labor of delivery. Receives: Behavioral: Upright Position |
| Lateral Position. | Experimental | Participants in the lateral position group were in the lateral position at the second stage of labor of delivery. Receives: Behavioral: Lateral Position |

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Lithotomy position, Lateral Position and Upright Position in people with Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI), run by Peking University People's Hospital at 1 site in China.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

What does the primary outcome measure?
Stress urinary incontence (SUI) occurrence at 6 weeks postpartum (time frame: at 6 (±2) weeks postpartum). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
