Exercise comparison for postpartum pelvic floor recovery
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial compares two exercise programs to help women strengthen their pelvic floor after childbirth. It tests whether a rehabilitation exercise protocol or Swiss ball training is more effective for reducing urinary incontinence.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether special breathing exercises combined with pelvic floor strengthening exercises (Kegel's) help postpartum women recover core strength and reduce pain. You'd do these exercises for a set period to see if they help close the gap between your abdominal muscles after pregnancy.
This study tests two exercise approaches—pelvic floor exercises and Swiss ball exercises—to see which better reduces long-term lower back pain in women. Both aim to strengthen core muscles that support your spine.
This study compares two types of core-strengthening exercises designed to help women with postpartum urinary incontinence (leaking urine when coughing, sneezing, or exercising). You'll be assigned to one exercise program and tracked over time to see which works better.
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.
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.
This study tests whether a program of gentle exercises can help women recover strength and function after a normal vaginal birth. It aims to improve healing and well-being in the early postpartum period.
