Interventions
Pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation supported by an immersive VR
The VR intervention, known as the VR Personality Project, will be delivered using an adjustable virtual reality headset equipped with integrated audio through the head-mounted display. Each participant will use lightweight, wireless Bluetooth controllers to engage and interact with the virtual environment. The Intervention will last for 8 weeks, with training sessions conducted three times per week under physiotherapist supervision. All participants will undergo baseline assessment prior to randomization, followed by a post-intervention assessment at 8 weeks.
Medical treatment
Duloxetine which is a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) that increases urethral sphincter tone will be used for both groups.
