Study acronym | POPPY (Pelvic Organ Prolapse PhysiotherapY) |
Study objectives | To address the feasibility of undertaking a multi-centre randomised controlled trial of the effectiveness of a pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) intervention for women with pelvic organ prolapse. The feasibility of all aspects of such a trial will be assessed, and pilot data will be collected which will allow sample size calculations to be refined. Ultimately, a multi-centred trial would aim to establish if PFMT is better than standardised management for reducing prolapse specific symptoms, prolapse severity, the need for surgical prolapse repair and the costs associated with the condition. Added 21/10/09: This feasibility study lead to a full trial, details may be viewed at http://www.controlled-trials.com/ISRCTN35911035 |
Ethics approval(s) | Added 07/10/09: 1. Southern General Hospital Ethics Committee approved 25 September 2002 (ref: EC/02/S/115) 2. Grampian Research Ethics Committee approved 11 March 2003 (ref: 02/0243) |
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Pelvic organ prolapse |
Intervention | Intervention arm: Women receive an individualised programme of PFMT delivered by a physiotherapist via 5 sessions of physiotherapy over a 16 week period. This programme includes pelvic muscle assessment, teaching, prescription of pelvic floor exercises and lifestyle advice. Control arm: Women receive an information leaflet containing lifestyle advice. |
