The Co-effect of the Sensate Focus Technique and Pelvic Floor Muscle Exercises on the SexualFunction in Married Women with Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI).

Determining the effect of simultaneous sensory focus training and pelvic floor exercises on the sexual function of married women with stress urinary

Randomized controlled clinical trial with parallel groups, double-blind, randomized, on 60 patients. For randomization due to the two-group nature of the study, there were six different modes for blocks of 4, then selecting random numbers between one and 6 and finally specifying the intervention allocation list based on the previous random numbers (BABA-BBAA-AABB-….) was carried out and opaque envelopes in the package numbered in order were used to conceal the allocation. After collecting the data, they will be analyzed using SPSS version 22 software.

This study investigates the effect of sensory focus techniques and pelvic floor exercises on eligible women in obstetrics and gynecology clinics in Qom and Tehran. In this study, written consent forms and demographic and fertility questionnaires will be collected from women, and then their pelvic floor muscles will be assessed. Participants will be randomly divided into two intervention and control groups, and both groups will be monitored by the researcher, and the researcher and participants will be blinded.

In the intervention group, an in-person training session will be conducted in the form of theoretical training on sensory focus techniques and pelvic floor exercises, along with presentation of slides and educational videos. The control group will only be trained on pelvic floor exercises.

Sexual function; Pelvic floor muscle condition.

This study will be a randomized controlled clinical trial. The study units will be 60 married women eligible for the study who will be invited to the office following a telephone call from the researcher. After marrying women with stress urinary incontinence refer to the clinic, the research units will explain the objectives, confidentiality of responses, providing general information, and autonomy at each stage of the study. After obtaining written informed consent, they will be asked to complete the demographic fertility questionnaires and the FSFI questionnaire. The researcher will assess the pelvic floor muscles using the pelvic floor muscle assessment checklist (modified Oxford scoring system). The subjects will be instructed to complete the urinary event recording table 24 hours a day until the end of the intervention period. In the second stage, subjects will be divided into intervention and control groups using a block randomization method using four-person random blocks, in such a way that the block list will be written and numbers will be assigned to them. Due to the two-group study, there were six different modes for the four-person blocks, so random numbers between one and six were selected and finally the intervention allocation list was determined based on the random numbers (BABA-BBAA-AABB-….) will be conducted. Opaque envelopes in a numbered order will be used to conceal the allocation. The researcher will randomly select the envelopes and then enter the research units into the sampling system in order. In the intervention group, an in-person training session will be held in the form of theoretical training on sensory focus techniques and pelvic floor exercises, along with the presentation of slides and educational videos. This two-hour workshop will be held individually in a room confidentially and quietly, and a step-by-step guide to sensory focus exercises and pelvic floor exercises will be provided to the samples. One month later and two months later, the research units will be contacted to come for evaluation and, if necessary, further explanations will be provided to them and their questions will be answered.

Blinding will be done on participants and researcher.The research units are divided into two intervention and control groups using block randomization method and using random blocks of four, in such a way that the list of blocks is written and numbers are assigned to them. According to the two-group study, there were six different modes for the blocks of four, so random numbers between one and six were selected and finally the intervention allocation list is determined based on random numbers (BABA-BBAA-AABB-….). To hide the allocation, opaque envelopes are used in numerical order. The researcher randomly selects the envelopes and then enters the research units into the sampling system in order.
