Virtual reality pelvic floor training for postpartum leaking
Treatments studied
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether doing pelvic floor exercises using virtual reality (VR) can help women who have stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine when coughing, sneezing, or laughing) after childbirth. If you are in the early months after a vaginal delivery and can do basic pelvic floor contractions, this could be an option to help strengthen those muscles.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman aged 22 to 35.
- You gave birth vaginally 3 to 6 months ago.
- You have had 2 to 3 vaginal deliveries (multiparous).
- You can do a basic pelvic floor muscle contraction (squeeze).
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18.5 and 30.
