Pelvic Floor Muscle Training in Treating Urinary Incontinence in Gynecologic Cancer Survivors

6. marts 2013 opdateret af: New Mexico Cancer Care Alliance

A Pilot Randomized Control Trial to Evaluate Pelvic Floor Muscle Training for Urinary Incontinence Among Gynecologic Cancer Survivors

This randomized pilot clinical trial studies pelvic floor muscle training in treating urinary incontinence in gynecologic cancer survivors. Pelvic floor muscle training may help control symptoms and improve physical function and quality of life in gynecologic cancer survivors.

Detaljeret beskrivelse

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To assess whether pelvic floor muscle training and behavioral therapy in gynecologic cancer survivors results in improvement in incontinence symptoms as measured by a validated questionnaire (Patient Global Impression of Improvement) at three month follow-up when compared to women who do not undergo pelvic floor muscle training.

II. To evaluate whether women who undergo pelvic floor muscle training and behavioral therapy report greater improvement in validated urinary incontinence symptom severity, pelvic floor distress and quality of life measures than women who do not undergo pelvic floor muscle training.

III. To evaluate the acceptability of pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) among gynecological cancer survivors and to provide preliminary data to inform a power analysis for a larger randomized trial.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

ARM I: Patients receive a handout describing behavioral management tips for urinary incontinence, including information and suggestions about optimal volume fluid intake, constipation management, measures to reduce urgency by spreading fluid intake, and avoiding caffeine and other bladder irritants that have proved effective in other intervention trials. Patients undergo PFMT over 20-30 minutes teaching them to contract the pelvic floor muscles correctly and receive feedback to avoid the contraction of abdominal, gluteal or adductor muscles. Patients are asked to perform 3 sets of 10 pelvic muscle contractions with a goal of holding the contraction for 5 seconds daily for 12 weeks and also receive a reminder phone call to address concerns and review the instructions at 4 weeks.

ARM II: Patients receive usual care for urinary incontinence, with an option to join the training program after completion of study.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 3 months.

Patients undergo PFMT over 20-30 minutes teaching them to contract the pelvic floor muscles correctly and receive feedback to avoid the contraction of abdominal, gluteal or adductor muscles.

Tidsramme
Changes in the Incontinence Severity Index (ISI) score
Tidsramme: Baseline to 3 months
The Brinks scale will be used by the trainers for the treatment group follow-up to evaluate the adequacy of the contractions in a qualitative manner. A two sample t-test on the within individual differences will be used. A non-parametric Mann-Whitney test will be used if the sample differences are non-normally distributed.
Baseline to 3 months
Changes in Urinary Distress Inventory (UDI)
Tidsramme: Baseline to 3 months
The Brinks scale will be used by the trainers for the treatment group follow-up to evaluate the adequacy of the contractions in a qualitative manner. A two sample t-test on the within individual differences will be used. A non-parametric Mann-Whitney test will be used if the sample differences are non-normally distributed.
