What this trial studies
This study compares the effects of yoga and Whole Body Vibration Training on pelvic floor muscle strength, urinary symptoms severity, and quality of life in women suffering from stress urinary incontinence. Participants will engage in yoga sessions three times a week for 45 minutes or whole body vibration training for 45-55 minutes over a six-week period. Additionally, a home exercise group will perform the planned exercises daily for the same duration. The outcomes will be assessed through statistical analysis to determine the effectiveness of these interventions.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are women aged 20-60 with stress urinary incontinence or mixed urinary incontinence with a predominant stress component who have not received physical therapy in the last three months.
Not a fit: Patients with neurological diseases, obesity, or those engaged in high-intensity sports may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve pelvic floor muscle strength and quality of life for women suffering from urinary incontinence.
How similar studies have performed: While there is limited information on the success of similar approaches, the combination of yoga and vibration training for urinary incontinence is relatively novel.
