Repair by Rehabilitation of Pelvic Floor Lesions After Vaginal Delivery Identified by Transperineal Ultrasound 3/4 D

SUMMARY: (Objective, design, scope of the study, subjects of study, instrumentation, results, conclusions)

Objectives: To evaluate if the physiotherapy treatment in pelvic floor dysfunctions, identified by transperineal ultrasound 3 / 4D, in postpartum improve the tone and functionality of pelvic floor.

Design: Post-authorization, prospective, longitudinal randomized intervention study

Scope: Full-term deliveries at the University Hospital. Subjects of study: Full-term primiparous and full-term pregnancies with pelvic floor lesion, identified by transperineal ultrasound 3 / 4D, which are randomized between the physiotherapy treatment of pelvic floor and the non-work.

Variables: Primary variable: Assess the improvement in contractility / tone, evaluation by manometry and assess the anatomical improvement of the area of ?? the genital hiatus, stay by transperineal ultrasound 3 / 4D. Secondary variables: Identify the levator ani muscle injury rate, estimate the sonographic changes in the levator ani muscle through rehabilitation. Analyze the improvement of the symptoms associated with the public organic prolapse and evaluate the improvement of the quality of life.

Data analysis: To detect a difference of 10% in the reduction of the size of the index between the study groups (not intervened / intervened) after 6 months of intervention, standard deviation 10%, Error-alpha 5%, Error- beta 10% (P90%) we need 23 women in each group. Assuming a loss of 10% in the follow-up, the final size would be 52 women, 26 per group.

Treatment and study plan

Physiotherapy Treatment

Other

Physiotherapy treatment consisted of pelvic floor exercises assisted by manometric biofeedback. In addition, active lumbopelvic stabilization exercises, including the contraction of pelvic floor muscles was performed in supine, plank and quadruped position.

Primary outcomes

  1. To evaluate the changes in pressure in the contractility evaluated by manometry (mm Hg)

    Time frame: 6 months after randomisation

    To evaluate the changes in pressure in the contractility evaluated by manometry (mm Hg), of the medical floor produced by the treatment of postpartum physiotherapy of the pelvic floor

  2. Changes in muscle thickness (millimeters) of the levator ani muscle

    Time frame: 6 months after randomisation

    Changes in muscle thickness (millimeters) of the levator ani muscle, measured with transperineal ultrasound 3-4D
