Effect of Multimodal Physical Therapy on Vaginismus Secondary to Chronic Constipation
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Conventional physiotherapy: The conventional program for vaginismus includes: 1. Massaging and stretching exercise for adductor muscles, Piriformis, low back muscles and Hamstrings. 2. Relaxation technique using diaphragmatic breathing exercise in coordination with pelvic floor muscle exercise for awareness and relaxation (contraction of pelvic floor muscles (PFM) with expiration and relaxation of PFM with deep inspiration). It will be applied for two weeks.
Multimodal physical therapy program: It will be applied for two weeks. it includes: 1. Visceral manipulation (VM) for colon release to treat constipation. 2. Progressive pelvic floor muscle relaxation technique using muscle energy techniques combined with vaginal dilators.
Study summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of multimodal physical therapy on vaginismus secondary to chronic constipation
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Assessment of pain intensity — 2 weeks
Visual analogue scale (VAS) will be used to assess pain intensity. It is a popular tool for the measurement of pain; it will be used before and after treatment. It consists of a line usually 10 cm in length, it involves a 10 cm line where the left end indicates the absence of pain, and the right end indicates unbearable pain.
