Sample size was based on large treatment effects (Cramers' V > 0.35) with a power of 80% and an alpha of 0.05 for a 3 × 3 contingency table, 44 patients needed to be included in the trial. Outcomes were analyzed according to the intention-to-treat principle. Group comparisons were made using analysis of variance (ANOVA), Kruskal-Wallis, and chi-square test as appropriate. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results: Of the 516 women screened, 111 presented with postpartum UI. Of these, 52 were randomized to one of three treatment groups: standard care (n = 17), pelvic floor muscle training (n = 17), or vaginal cube pessary (n = 18). After 12 weeks of treatment, treatment success, as measured by patient satisfaction, was significantly higher in the vaginal pessary group (77.8%, n = 14/18), compared to the standard care group (41.2%, n = 7/17), and the PFMT (23.5%, n = 4/17; χ 2 2,n = 52 = 14.55; p = 0.006, Cramer-V = 0.374). No adverse events were reported. SUI and MUI accounted for 88.4% of postpartum UI.Conclusion: Vaginal pessaries were superior to standard care or PFMT to satisfyingly reduce postpartum UI symptoms. No complications were found.Keywords: pelvic floor muscle training; postpartum; randomized controlled trial; standard care; urinary incontinence; vaginal pessary. 001030928 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-5251$$a5251 - Multilevel Brain Organization and Variability (POF4-525)$$cPOF4-525$$fPOF IV$$x0 001030928 588__ $$aDataset connected to CrossRef, Journals: juser.fz-juelich.de 001030928 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aLange, Rainer$$b1 001030928 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aTabibi, Elham$$b2 001030928 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aHitschold, Thomas$$b3 001030928 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)131699$$aMüller, Veronika I.$$b4 001030928 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aNaumann, Gert$$b5 001030928 773__ $$0PERI:(DE-600)2026496-3$$a10.1055/a-2243-3784$$gVol. 84, no. 03, p. 246 - 255$$n03$$p246 - 255$$tGeburtshilfe und Frauenheilkunde$$v84$$x0016-5751$$y2024 001030928 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/1030928/files/Paper%20Comparison%20Lange24.pdf$$yOpenAccess 001030928 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/1030928/files/Paper%20Comparison%20Lange24.gif?subformat=icon$$xicon$$yOpenAccess 001030928 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/1030928/files/Paper%20Comparison%20Lange24.jpg?subformat=icon-1440$$xicon-1440$$yOpenAccess 001030928 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/1030928/files/Paper%20Comparison%20Lange24.jpg?subformat=icon-180$$xicon-180$$yOpenAccess 001030928 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/1030928/files/Paper%20Comparison%20Lange24.jpg?subformat=icon-640$$xicon-640$$yOpenAccess 001030928 909CO $$ooai:juser.fz-juelich.de:1030928$$pdnbdelivery$$pdriver$$pVDB$$popen_access$$popenaire 001030928 9101_ $$0I:(DE-HGF)0$$6P:(DE-HGF)0$$a Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Medical University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria (Ringgold ID: RIN27271) 2 Department of Gynecology, University Hospital Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland (Ringgold ID: RIN27243) 3 University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland (Ringgold ID: RIN30841)$$b0 001030928 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)131699$$aForschungszentrum Jülich$$b4$$kFZJ 001030928 9101_ $$0I:(DE-HGF)0$$6P:(DE-Juel1)131699$$a HHU Düsseldorf$$b4 001030928 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-525$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF4-520$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF4-500$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF4$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$9G:(DE-HGF)POF4-5251$$aDE-HGF$$bKey Technologies$$lNatural, Artificial and Cognitive Information Processing$$vDecoding Brain Organization and Dysfunction$$x0 001030928 9141_ $$y2024 001030928 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0160$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bEssential Science Indicators$$d2023-08-19 001030928 915__ $$0LIC:(DE-HGF)CCBYNCND4$$2HGFVOC$$aCreative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 001030928 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0113$$2StatID$$aWoS$$bScience Citation Index Expanded$$d2023-08-19 001030928 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0510$$2StatID$$aOpenAccess 001030928 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0420$$2StatID$$aNationallizenz$$d2025-01-02$$wger 001030928 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0200$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bSCOPUS$$d2025-01-02 001030928 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0300$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bMedline$$d2025-01-02 001030928 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0199$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bClarivate Analytics Master Journal List$$d2025-01-02 001030928 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1110$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bCurrent Contents - Clinical Medicine$$d2025-01-02 001030928 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0150$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bWeb of Science Core Collection$$d2025-01-02 001030928 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0100$$2StatID$$aJCR$$bGEBURTSH FRAUENHEILK : 2022$$d2025-01-02 001030928 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)9900$$2StatID$$aIF < 5$$d2025-01-02 001030928 9201_ $$0I:(DE-Juel1)INM-7-20090406$$kINM-7$$lGehirn & Verhalten$$x0 001030928 980__ $$ajournal 001030928 980__ $$aVDB 001030928 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED 001030928 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)INM-7-20090406 001030928 9801_ $$aFullTexts
