This study, called TULIP, is for women who have recently given birth and are experiencing bothersome urinary leakage (urinary incontinence). It aims to see if different types of training can help improve this condition. You might receive training sessions with an expert, or use a home device called leva® for pelvic floor exercises, or receive general education about pelvic floor muscles. Researchers will measure your urinary leakage using a special questionnaire (ICIQ-SF) to see which approach works best. To join, you must be at least 18 years old, have had your first baby vaginally, and be about 6 weeks postpartum. You also need to be at higher risk for pelvic floor problems, such as having a larger baby, an assisted delivery (forceps or vacuum), or a significant tear during birth.

Study design

This is a multi-center, randomized study involving about 216 women. Participants will be assigned to one of three groups: interventionist-guided training, home exercises with the leva® device, or education.

What's involved

You would start around 6-8 weeks postpartum and continue exercises until 12 months postpartum. This includes training sessions, home exercises, and follow-up assessments.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Your progress will be assessed at 6 months postpartum, and follow-up will continue until 12 months postpartum.
