Effects of Pelvic Floor Muscle Training Combined With Bladder Training on Some Parametrs of Men With Urinary Frequency
Sponsor: Bingol University
Summary
This prospective, single-center, parallel-group, assessor-blinded randomized controlled trial will include 120 voluntary male participants who have had complaints of urinary frequency for at least 3 months and meet the inclusion criteria. Participants will be randomly allocated into two groups (Group 1: Bladder Training + Pelvic Floor Muscle Training; Group 2: Bladder Training Alone). Assessments will be repeated at baseline, at week 4, and at week 8. The primary outcome measure will be 3-day bladder diary data (24-hour voiding frequency); secondary outcomes will include the OAB-V8, ICIQ-OAB, and PGI-I scales, as well as transabdominal ultrasonographic measurements of bladder neck elevation (strength and endurance) and PVR.

Interventions
Bladder training plus pelvic floor muscle training
Bladder training includes strategies for suppressing urgency, gradually extending the intervals between voiding, managing fluid intake, and reducing caffeine consumption. The pelvic floor muscle training component involves three types of contractions: fast contractions (10 repetitions, 3 sets), maximal sustained contractions (10 repetitions, held for 10 seconds each), and functional contractions integrated into daily activities to improve real-life muscle control.
