Investigators at State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) Describe Findings in Urinary Incontinence (Use of a Mobile Application for Pelvic Floor Muscle Training In Women With Urinary Incontinence: a Randomized Control Trial).

A recent study conducted at the State University of Campinas in Brazil examined the impact of a mobile app-guided pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) program on urinary symptoms and quality of life in women with urinary incontinence. The study included 154 women with stress urinary incontinence who were randomly assigned to either the app group or the control (paper) group. Both groups showed significant improvements in urinary symptoms and quality of life, but the app group exhibited a more substantial reduction in overactive bladder symptoms and had greater improvements in quality of life. The study suggests that PFMT guided by a mobile app may be more effective than home-based guidance for improving urinary symptoms and quality of life in women with urinary incontinence.
