Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Increase of pelvic floor muscle contractility by surface electromiography and vaginal palpation in treated group.;Increase of pelvic floor muscle contractility by surface electromiography (p=0.003) and vaginal palpation (p=0.001)only in Treated Group.;Decrease of cystocele and rectocele gravity in treated group. ;Decrease of the cystocele gravity in treated group (p=0.03). No significant differences were found in the rectocele (p= 0.31).—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Decrease of the urogynecological symptoms by validated questionnaires : International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire - Short Form (ICIQ-UI SF); International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Overactive Bladder (ICIQ-OAB) and International Consultation Questionnaire on Vaginal Symptoms (ICIQ-VS)in treated group. ;There was a decrease in the ICIQ-OAB scores only in the TG at final evaluation (p<0.001)and in the ICIQ-UI SF scores between the TG and CG after the treatment (p=0.036). No significant differences were found in vaginal symptoms by the ICIQ-VS score.—
