What this Trial Is About
Researchers are investigating how different methods of pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) may help men recover from urinary incontinence after prostate cancer surgery called radical prostatectomy. The study compares three approaches: standard PFMT, an enhanced somatosensory interactive PFMT, and standard PFMT combined with pelvic floor magnetic stimulation. The goal is to find which method best supports recovery from urinary incontinence in men after this surgery. Participants are randomly assigned to one of three groups. The first group receives traditional verbal instructions and paper materials for PFMT. The second group experiences an interactive program with educational videos and synchronized audio-visual guidance for pelvic floor exercises. The third group combines the standard PFMT with magnetic stimulation therapy delivered twice weekly for 20-minute sessions over 10 to 12 treatments. All patients receive muscle function assessments to ensure correct exercise technique. During the study, men complete questionnaires and perform a 1-hour pad test at 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery to measure urinary incontinence. Researchers monitor changes using a standardized incontinence questionnaire. This schedule helps evaluate how well each training method improves urinary control over time. The total participation period includes these follow-up assessments after the initial treatment phase.
