Mobile App vs. In-Person Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation for Urinary Leakage in Adult Women
Portugal32 participantsStarted 2026-03-26
Plain-language summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a mobile app-guided pelvic floor rehabilitation program works as well as standard in-person pelvic floor rehabilitation to treat urinary leakage in adult women.
The main question it aims to answer is:
Does the app program improve quality of life related to urinary leakage as much as in-person rehabilitation?
Researchers will compare the app-based program to in-person rehabilitation to see if both lead to similar improvements in quality of life.
Participants will:
Attend one medical visit before starting to confirm they are eligible Attend one in-person training session with a physiotherapist Follow either an app-based or an in-person pelvic floor rehabilitation program for 3 months Complete quality of life questionnaires at the start and at 4 months

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
