What this trial studies
This observational study aims to evaluate the relationship between low back pain and various pelvic floor issues, including muscle strength, urinary incontinence, constipation, and sexual dysfunction in women diagnosed with lumbar disc herniation. The study will involve participants aged 18-55 with specific inclusion criteria, focusing on those with protruded and extruded disc herniation. By utilizing EMG biofeedback, the research seeks to uncover potential correlations that have not been previously explored in the literature.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are women aged 18-55 diagnosed with protruded or extruded lumbar disc herniation and a BMI below 30 kg/m2.
Not a fit: Patients with trauma, tumors, systemic disorders, or those who have undergone surgery for disc herniation may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide insights that improve the management of pelvic floor dysfunction in women with lumbar disc herniation.
How similar studies have performed: This study explores a novel approach, as no previous research has been found that directly investigates the relationship between lumbar disc herniation and urinary incontinence.
