Summary

The aim of our study is to investigate the effects of pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) on pelvic floor muscle strength, sexual functions, bladder symptoms and quality of life in women with overactive bladder (OAB).

Detailed description

Overactive bladder (OAB) is defined by the International Continence Association as an "urgency with or without urge urinary incontinence, often accompanied by frequency and nocturia." Accordingly, pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) plays an important role in the management of OAB. However, a recent systematic review suggests that PFMT is insufficient against OAB.
