“…The results of their study indicated that the incidence of urinary incontinence in elderly who were taught behavioral interventions (including pelvic floor muscle exercises, bladder exercises and lifestyle changes) decreased from 75% to 39% (18), which was inconsistent with the findings of our study. The review study by Jamrasi et al in regarding the effect of pelvic floor exercises on urinary incontinence suggests the effectiveness of pelvic floor exercises in improving urinary incontinence in women which was in agreement with the results of our study (19). It seems that one of the common causes of urinary incontinence is weak pelvic floor muscle.…”

Introduction: Urinary incontinence is one of the causes of the dependence of the elderly on others and is one of the main reasons for sending the elderly to care centers. Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of behavioral interventions program on urinary incontinence in the elderly. Patients and Methods: In this quasi-experimental clinical trial (without a control group), 30 elderly men with acute urinary incontinence were selected from elderly care centers in Urmia city using the available sampling method. The intervention included pelvic floor and bladder exercises and lifestyle modification training, individually. The standard ICIQ-SF questionnaire was completed before and after the intervention. The data were analyzed by paired t-test and Wilcoxon tests. Results: The findings showed a statistically significant difference between urinary leakage frequency (P= 0.002), urinary leakage rate (P=0.001) and the effect of urinary leakage on the quality of life (P < 0.001) of the subjects before and after the intervention. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that a combination of the pelvic floor and bladder exercises and lifestyle change are effective in decreasing urinary incontinence in elderly men. Trial Registration: The trial protocol was registered in the Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials (identifier: IRCT20180808040742N2; https://en.irct.ir/trial/43204, ethical code #IR.UMSU.REC.1391.31).

“…It is found in the literature through a systematic review that pelvic floor muscle training exercises (PFMT) is the first line of treatment for UI [ 13 ], in improving sexual function [ 14 , 15 ], and in vaginal stenosis [ 16 ]. PFMT is defined as an exercise to improve strength, endurance, power, and relaxation or a combination of these factors [ 17 ].…”

Background Educational and self-care measures are important for women after gynecological pelvic cancer treatment. Pelvic floor muscle training exercises (PFMT) are a conservative treatment for pelvic floor (PF) dysfunction. The purpose is to evaluate the impact of a telerehabilitation and self-care program on PF dysfunctions, reports of urinary incontinence (UI), and physical–emotional factors of participants post-treatment for gynecological pelvic cancer. Methods Two-arm randomized clinical trial: an intervention group (IG) will evaluate the effect of a telerehabilitation program on women undergoing clinical practice of radiotherapy for the treatment of gynecological pelvic cancer and a control group (CG) will maintain the routine. Primary outcome is the prevalence of reports of UI, which will be assessed using the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire—Short Form (ICIQ-SF). The secondary outcomes will be the severity and impact of UI on quality of life, location and perception of pain intensity, presence and intensity of dyspareunia, vaginal stenosis, fecal incontinence (FI), and levels of physical activity. Statistical analysis will be performed by intention-to-treat, and multivariate mixed effects analysis will be used to compare results. Discussion Activities in the context of telerehabilitation using PFMT and self-care can represent a viable and effective solution to minimize the side effects of gynecological cancer treatment and improve women’s quality of life.
