Combined pelvic floor retraining and hypopressive exercises for uterine prolapse outcomes

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

In this randomized clinical trial, 32 women aged 30-60 with stage I-II uterine prolapse at Ganga Ram Hospital, Lahore, will receive an 8-week program combining Hypopressive Exercises with Pelvic Floor Functional Movement Retraining. The study compares the combined approach to each individual intervention to see which provides greater relief of urogynecological symptoms and better quality of life. Outcome measures focus on pain, urinary symptoms, and patient-reported quality of life. Participants are allocated using non-probability convenience sampling and will be supervised during the sessions. The trial aims to determine if the combination offers superior benefits when both approaches are used together.
