July 31, 2018 updated by: Sigrid Tibaek, Glostrup University Hospital, Copenhagen

The Effect of Pelvic Floor Muscle Training on Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) in Men With Stroke

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) on Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) in men after stroke.

120 men with LUTS or increased LUTS after stroke is included and randomized into a treatment group or a control group. The subjects in the treatment group follows a 12 week standard PFMT program, while the control group is not given specific treatment of their LUTS but like the treatment group follows the standard rehabilitation program for stroke patient. Outcome are measured by

  • 5 questionnaires
  • Voiding diary
  • 24-hour pad test
  • pelvic floor muscle assessment test
