Bladder Training Supported by Alarm Reminders and Distraction Techniques for Mixed Urinary Incontinence (ARDT-MUI)

8 juli 2026 uppdaterad av: Perihan ÇETİN, Izmir Katip Celebi University

Effectiveness of Bladder Training Supported by Alarm Reminders and Distraction Techniques in Women With Persistent Mixed Urinary Incontinence Following Pelvic Floor Muscle Exercise Therapy: A Randomized Controlled Trial

This randomized controlled trial evaluated the effectiveness of bladder training supported by smartphone alarm reminders and distraction techniques in women with persistent mixed urinary incontinence who continued to experience symptoms despite completing pelvic floor muscle exercise (PFME) therapy at least six months previously. Participants were stratified according to age, educational level, body mass index, mode of delivery, and baseline urinary incontinence severity before randomization to either an intervention group or a control group. The intervention group received an 8-week bladder training program supported by alarm reminders and distraction techniques, while the control group received routine care. Outcomes included urinary incontinence severity, symptom distress, quality of life, urinary incontinence episodes, voiding intervals, treatment satisfaction, and adherence to bladder training.

Detaljerad beskrivning

Mixed urinary incontinence is a common condition that negatively affects women's physical, psychological, and social well-being. Although pelvic floor muscle exercise (PFME) is recommended as the first-line conservative treatment, many women continue to experience urinary incontinence despite completing therapy. Effective management strategies for women with persistent symptoms after PFME remain limited.

The purpose of this randomized controlled trial was to evaluate whether bladder training supported by smartphone alarm reminders and distraction techniques improves urinary incontinence severity, symptom distress, quality of life, urinary incontinence episodes, voiding intervals, treatment satisfaction, and adherence in women with persistent mixed urinary incontinence following completed PFME therapy.

Participants were stratified according to age, educational level, body mass index, mode of delivery, and baseline urinary incontinence severity before randomization to an intervention group or a control group. The intervention group received an individualized 8-week bladder training program supported by smartphone alarm reminders and distraction techniques, whereas the control group received routine outpatient care. Clinical outcomes were assessed using validated questionnaires, bladder diaries, and the standardized one-hour Pad Test.

Experimentell: Bladder Training Supported by Alarm Reminders and Distraction Techniques
Participants received an individualized 8-week bladder training program supported by smartphone alarm reminders and distraction techniques. The intervention included pelvic floor muscle contractions, urgency suppression strategies, timed voiding with gradually increasing voiding intervals, smartphone alarm reminders, and bead-counting distraction techniques.
