A Study of a Pelvic Floor Muscle Exercise Program Before and After Radical Prostatectomy (NCT06671782)
Improving Patient Involvement in Care-A Pilot Study of a Comprehensive Pelvic Floor Muscle Exercise Program Before and After Radical Prostatectomy to Prevent Urinary Leakage
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The researchers are doing this study to find out if a PFME program to reduce urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy is feasible for people with prostate cancer. The researchers will track how many participants join the study, follow the program, and stay in the study. They will also evaluate how people feel about their experience and satisfaction with participating in this program through interviews. They will also measure participants' quality of life by filling out questionnaires, and we will study whether the program shows promise in reducing urinary incontinence. Radical prostatectomy sometimes causes incontinence after the surgery. The researchers think that by teaching PFME and strengthening and improving control of the pelvic floor muscles, PFME training before and after radical prostatectomy may help reduce incontinence and/or reduce how long incontinence lasts.
