Postpartum Recovery of Pelvic Floor with Early Rehabilitation
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how well the pelvic floor (the muscles supporting your bladder, uterus, and bowel) recovers after a vaginal birth. It tests whether starting gentle exercises soon after delivery helps improve recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You gave birth to a single baby (not twins) between 37 and 41 weeks of pregnancy.
- Your baby weighed at least 2500 grams (about 5.5 pounds) at birth.

This trial tests if using a special ultrasound to show pelvic floor muscle movement during exercises helps new mothers strengthen their pelvic floor better than standard therapy alone. It is for women who gave birth vaginally within the past 4 months.
This study tests whether doing pelvic floor muscle exercises during early pregnancy can help strengthen the muscles that support the bladder, uterus, and bowel. If you join, you'll follow a guided exercise program from home using your phone or computer.
This study checks how pelvic floor function and ultrasound (picture) findings relate to each other about one year after childbirth. You may help researchers understand which physical changes after vaginal birth matter most and how to monitor them.
This study tracks how well women recover after surgery for advanced pelvic organ prolapse. You will wear a small activity monitor before and after surgery to see how your activity level changes, and you'll follow a simple exercise plan to help your recovery.
This study tests whether a pelvic floor training program delivered through a smartphone app can help first-time moms who leak urine after childbirth. The program is designed for women who had a vaginal delivery with certain risk factors for ongoing pelvic floor issues.
This study looks at how a mother's muscles in the hips, lower back, belly, and pelvic floor relate to the type of delivery (vaginal or C-section) and any pelvic floor problems after childbirth. It may help women understand their risk of issues like incontinence after giving birth.
