Impact of phone calls on physiotherapy attendance for pelvic floor issues

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

This study evaluates how brief telephone support affects attendance rates for physiotherapy sessions among women with pelvic floor dysfunction. Participants on the waiting list will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: one receiving a call before their invitation letter, another after, and a control group with no call. The calls will provide information about the treatment, its benefits, and allow patients to ask questions. The goal is to reduce the high non-attendance rate, which currently stands at about 50%.
