Training pelvic floor muscle with biofeedback or exam guidance
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to help women learn how to tighten the pelvic floor muscles. It may help women with pelvic floor problems and urinary leaking by improving muscle control using either biofeedback or clinician guidance.
