Outpatient rehab vs. self-training for postpartum pelvic floor health
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways to help women recover from pelvic floor issues after childbirth: a structured outpatient rehab program vs. a self-training program at home. It aims to see which is better for treating and preventing problems like leakage or poor muscle tone.
