- type
- EXPERIMENTAL
- label
- Arm I (PFMT)
- description
- 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.
