Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-20 (PTDE-20)
Time Frame: Evaluations started immediately after receiving ethics committee approval and will be completed within 6 months, which is the study period.
There are 20 questions in total on the scale. The best score that can be obtained from the entire survey is "0" and the worst score is "300".
Evaluations started immediately after receiving ethics committee approval and will be completed within 6 months, which is the study period.
Sexual Life Quality Scale- Women (CYKÖ-K)
Time Frame: Evaluations started immediately after receiving ethics committee approval and will be completed within 6 months, which is the study period.
The maximum score that can be obtained from the scale with this system is 108.
Evaluations started immediately after receiving ethics committee approval and will be completed within 6 months, which is the study period.
Incontinence Impact Questionnaire (IIQ-7) (IES)
Time Frame: Evaluations started immediately after receiving ethics committee approval and will be completed within 6 months, which is the study period.
Consists of 7 items. Maximum score is 100.
Evaluations started immediately after receiving ethics committee approval and will be completed within 6 months, which is the study period.
The McGill trunk muscle endurance test
Time Frame: Evaluations started immediately after receiving ethics committee approval and will be completed within 6 months, which is the study period.
The McGill trunk muscle endurance test is a test group that includes all trunk flexor, extensor and lateral muscle endurance tests.
Evaluations started immediately after receiving ethics committee approval and will be completed within 6 months, which is the study period.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Health assessment questionnaire (HAQ)
Time Frame: Evaluations started immediately after receiving ethics committee approval and will be completed within 6 months, which is the study period.
This questionnaire consists of 20 questions and 8 subheadings, each answer ranging from 0 to 3 points.
Evaluations started immediately after receiving ethics committee approval and will be completed within 6 months, which is the study period.
Cognitive Exercise Therapy Approach (BETY)
Time Frame: Evaluations started immediately after receiving ethics committee approval and will be completed within 6 months, which is the study period.
This scale has 30 items. The scale is scored with a 5-point Likert system.
Evaluations started immediately after receiving ethics committee approval and will be completed within 6 months, which is the study period.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
February 5, 2025

Primary Completion (Estimated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
