Summary

This study is a feasibility, pilot trial of remote, video-based pelvic floor muscle therapy (PFMT) for patients with pelvic floor disorders, including pelvic organ prolapse, urinary incontinence and anorectal dysfunction. PFMT has been shown to improve these symptoms in multiple studies.

Detailed description

This will be a feasibility and acceptability trial of a novel remote, web-accessible PFMT curriculum, designed by pelvic floor physical therapists. Patients will be expected to complete a 5-10-minute survey at initial enrollment. They will have one in-person session with a pelvic floor therapist prior to starting the 8-week video-based PFMT course. Afterwards, they will have a final in person session with a pelvic floor therapist along with a final set of surveys that should take an estimated 10-15 minutes. The primary objective is to the determine the feasibility and accessibility of using a video-based PFMT for patients with pelvic floor dysfunction. The secondary objective is to determine whether video-based PFMT can improve symptomatology and quality of life.
