The Efficacy of Pilates in the Recovery of Post-prostatectomy Urinary Incontinence

NCT02086266 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 54

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy between a Pilates exercise program and a Pelvic Floor Muscle Training (PFMT) protocol combined with anal electrical stimulation (AES) in the recovery of urinary continence (UI) after radical prostatectomy.

There are no studies that evaluate Pilates mat exercises for incontinence in men although it can be assured that this method has the pelvic floor contractions as a principle for practice. If this new therapeutic approach proves to be as effective as described treatment in improving urinary complaints, it will be an option for patients who prefer a non-invasive treatment.
