Summary

Given the structural relationship of the CORE as a whole, in this study we propose an intervention based on the global motor control of all the structures that make up the CORE to assess its effectiveness on urinary incontinence, sexual dysfunction and balance, as well as its relationship with respiratory function. According to our hypothesis, a global intervention could also be taken into account during conventional treatment in the future, helping to prevent genitourinary dysfunctions derived from alterations in motor control.

Detailed description

Main objective: To establish the effect of core motor control training on pelvic floor functionality in patients with multiple sclerosis. Specific objective: To assess the effect of core motor control training on urinary incontinence. * To assess the effect of core motor control training on urinary incontinence in patients with multiple sclerosis. * To assess the effect of core motor control training on quality of life in patients with multiple sclerosis. * To assess the effect of core motor control training on sexual dysfunction in patients with multiple sclerosis. * To assess the effect of core motor control training on balance in patients with multiple sclerosis. * To test the relationship between respiratory functionality and pelvic floor dysfunctions in patients with multiple sclerosis.

Conditions

• Multiple Sclerosis
• Pelvic Floor Disorders
• Incontinence, Urinary

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	rehabilitation programme based on motor control of core muscles	The exercises performed during the intervention aim to improve the functionality of MS patients and to assess how this can improve pelvic floor health, quality of life, sexual health and urinary incontinence. A specific exercise programme has been designed and will be carried out by physiotherapists specialised in neurological physiotherapy for this purpose. The ultimate aim of the research is to be able to benefit other MS patients from our findings and to propose specific interventions in these areas. However, it is possible that no direct benefit will be obtained after the intervention. At the end of the research you will be informed, if you wish, about the main results and general conclusions of the study. The study does not pose any risk to your health as it is a non-invasive study and no harmful or deleterious action is incurred for the additional collection of the necessary records.
