About this trial
In the sponsor's words
The aim of this study was to compare the effects of pelvic floor strengthening and relaxation exercises on lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD), depression and quality of life (QoL) in women with Multiple Sclerosis (WwMS). The main questions it aims to answer are: * Are pelvic floor relaxation exercises effective on lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD)? * Is there a difference in the effect on LUTD symptoms between pelvic floor strengthening exercises and relaxation exercises? Participants were divided into three groups: pelvic floor strengthening, relaxation and combined (both pelvic floor strengthening and relaxation together) exercise groups. Participants were called every week for 8 weeks and an online session was held one day per week. Participants were asked to perform the exercises 3 times a day, every other day. Urogenital Distress Inventory (UDI-6), Incontinence Impact Questioonaire (IIQ-7), International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short form (ICIQ-SF), Overactive Bladder Assessment Form (OAB-V8), 24-Hour Voiding Diary and Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ) were used to evaluate.
