Patient Education for Pessary Use in Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether teaching patients about using a pessary (a device placed in the vagina to support prolapsed organs) helps them manage their condition better. It lasts one year and involves watching educational videos.
