Mobile App vs. In-Person Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation for Urinary Leakage in Adult Women
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Urinary Incontinence , Stress
In brief
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a mobile app-guided pelvic floor rehabilitation program works as well as standard in-person pelvic floor rehabilitation to treat urinary leakage in adult women. The main question it aims to answer is: Does the app program improve quality of life related to urinary leakage as much as in-person rehabilitation? Researchers will compare the app-based program to in-person rehabilitation to see if both lead to similar improvements in quality of life. Participants will: Attend one medical visit before starting to confirm they are eligible Attend one in-person training session with a physiotherapist Follow either an app-based or an in-person pelvic floor rehabilitation program for 3 months Complete quality of life questionnaires at the start and at 4 months
