Group Versus Individual Physiotherapy for Urinary Incontinence in Aging Women (NCT02039830)
Group Physiotherapy Compared to Individual Physiotherapy to Treat Urinary Incontinence in Aging Women: A Randomized Control Trial
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The recommended treatment for urinary incontinence (UI) in women is individualised pelvic floor muscle (PFM) training, a costly and resource-intense approach; one Canada is currently unable to meet. This non-inferiority randomized control trial seeks to determine if group-based PFM training is as effective as individualised PFM training for treating UI in women 65 and over, and to establish the cost-effectiveness of both. Demonstrating that group-based treatment is at least as good as individualised one-on-one treatment and more cost-effective would warrant including group-based PFM training as a first-line UI treatment.
