About this study
Official title: Telerehabilitation Versus Supervised Pelvic Floor Muscle Training in Postmenopausal Women With Urinary Incontinence
Urinary Incontinence (UI) is a prevalent condition impacting women across all age groups, varing in both severity and type. Urinary Incontinence affects 25%-45% of women worldwide. A systematic review explains that menopause-driven estrogen decline leads to atrophy of pelvic floor muscles (PFM). The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the effects of telerehabilitation-based pelvic floor muscle training with a supervised face-to-face pelvic floor muscle training program in improving urinary incontinence symptoms, pelvic floor muscle funtion and quality of life (QoL) in postmenopausal women. Participnts will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups, and both will receive an identical standardized pelvic floor muscle training protocol. The results of this clinical trial will help evaluate how telerehabilitation can provide support for postmenopausal women with urinary incontinence and improve health outcomes.
Read the detailed description
Urinary incontinence (UI) is common among postmenopausal women and is characterized by involuntary urine leakage, leading to physical, psychological, and social challenges. Its prevalence increases after menopause due to hormonal changes, along with loss of connective tissue and muscle fiber degradation. This results in reduced maximal voluntary contraction and diminished coordination, contributing to increased UI risk in postmenopausal women. Postmenopausal women with UI present significantly increased pelvic floor muscle (PFM) stiffness both at rest and during contraction, signalling structural deterioration. Therefore this increased stiffness, linked to tissue atrophy, compromises muscle contraction and is closely associated with reduced urethral support. Systematic reviews highlight that postmenopausal women often are marginalized or grouped with wider age ranges, limiting the significance of outcomes to this specific demographic. Therefore adequately powered randomized controlled trails directly comparing Tele-rehabilitation and supervised Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) in postmenopausal women are limited. PFMT is the first-line conservative treatment recommended by international guidelines. Traditionally, PFMT is delivered in supervised, in-person sessions with a physiotherapist; however, hurdles such as mobility issues, transportation costs can reduce access to supervised sessions. Tele-rehabilitation may overcome these barriers by offering flexible and home-based treatment. Tele-rehabilitation, using secure video conferencing to deliver PFMT in real time, may improve accessibility, adherence, and convenience. Hence evaluating the effectiveness and acceptability of remote PFMT in postmenopausal women is both timely and clinically important. This study will provide stronger statistical power to address the existing evidence gap and contribute to the growing field of digital physiotherapy by providing valuable evidence evaluating whether Tele-rehabilitation can serve as an effective and feasible alternative to face-to-face intervention for managing urinary incontinence in postmenopausal women, thereby improving women's health outcomes and quality of life.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Telerehabilitation Pelvic Floor Muscle Training (TR-PFMT) GroupOther
The program will be delivered online in small groups by a physiotherapist. The program includes diaphragmatic breathing, pelvic mobility (pelvic tilts, hip circles, cat-cow), stretching (butterfly, child pose, deep squat), and progressive strengthening of phasic and tonic fibers through stationary PFMT (10-sec moderate-hold + 3 quick flicks, 8 sets in weeks 1-3, 10 sets in weeks 4-6, 10-sec rest) and home-based PFMT (10 fast contractions and 10 moderate-hold contractions, 2 sets in weeks 1-2 with weekly set increases, 10-sec rest), performed in prone lying, supine hook-lying, butterfly, sitting, and standing positions. All sessions will be recorded, and participants will submit weekly exercise diaries.
Supervised Pelvic Floor Muscle Training (S-PFMT) GroupOther
In the supervised group, the protocol will be delivered by a physiotherapist in a clinical environment by face-to-face. The standardized Pelvic Floor Muscle Training protocol will be monitored exactly the same as Telerehabilitation group (TR-PFMT).
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Telerehabilitation Pelvic Floor Muscle Taining (TR-PFMT) Group | Experimental | This group will receive a 6-week standardized Pelvic Floor Muscle Training program (18 sessions, 2/week, 60 min) delivered online by a physiotherapist. The program includes patient education on pelvic floor anatomy, bladder habits, and lifestyle advice, along with diaphragmatic breathing, pelvic mobility, and progressive strengthening of phasic and tonic Pelvic Floor Muscle fibers in multiple positions. Home exercises are prescribed with gradual progression, and participants submit weekly exercise diaries for monitoring and motivation.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change in International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form (ICIQ-SF) score
The International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Urinary Incontinence Short Form (ICIQ-UI SF) is a valid, widely used tool to assess urinary incontinence (UI) symptoms, severity and its impact on quality of life. It has three scored items (leakage frequency, amount, and interference) and one unscored diagnostic item identifying possible causes or situations of leakage (e.g., coughing, sneezing, exertion). Scores range from 0-21, with higher scores showing greater severity: slight (1-5), moderate (6-12), severe (13-18), very severe (19-21)
Measured: Baseline and 6 weeks
Change in pelvic floor muscle strength using the Modified Oxford Scale
The Modified Oxford Scale is a validated grading system used to assess pelvic floor muscle strength through vaginal palpation. It ranges from 0 to 5. The Modified Oxford Scale developed by Laycock is scored as, a score of 0: indicates no contraction, 1: a slight flicker, 2: a weak squeeze, 3: a moderate contraction with some lift, 4: a good contraction with resistance, and 5: a strong contraction with firm resistance and lift. Higher grades indicate stronger pelvic floor muscles.
Measured: Baseline and 6 weeks
Change in Urinary Impact Questionnaire short form (UIQ-7) score
The Urinary Impact Questionnaire short form (UIQ-7) is a validated self-report tool. The UIQ-7 consists of 7 items assessing how urinary incontinence affects daily activities, emotional health, and social interactions. Each item is scored from 0 (not at all) to 3 (greatly), giving a total score of 0-21, with higher scores indicating greater negative impact.
Measured: Baseline and 6 weeks
Change in Incontinence Impact Questionnaire, Short Form (IIQ-7) score
The IIQ-7 emphasises the functional impact of incontinence, comprising 7 items that evaluate the influence of incontinence on physical activity, travel, social relationships, and emotional health. Each response is scored 0-3, resulting in a total score of 0-21, where higher scores indicate a more severe impact on quality of life.
Measured: Baseline and 6 weeks
