Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) exercises and electrical stimulation (ES) are described as conservative interventions to prevent or treat female stress urinary incontinence (SUI). However, the effect of PFMT associated to intravaginal ES has not be described yet. Also, few studies have evaluated the cost-effectiveness and cost-utility of treating SUI, and these studies, for the most p…
Pelvic floor muscle training (TMAP) is considered the first line of treatment to prevent or treat female stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Few studies have evaluated the cost-effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of SUI treatment, and these studies mostly refer to costs for surgical or drug treatment. Aim: To verify the effectiveness and cost-utility of different weekly frequencies of the…
This project consists of two studies, whose objectives are: 1. The aim of this study is to evaluate if the training of pelvic floor muscles, which associates an individualized treatment progressing to a group treatment, would be more effective than an individualized training only or groups only. 2. To evaluate the effects of LLLT on pelvic floor muscle, quality of life and urinary symptom…
The literature data demonstrate the benefits resulting from regular physical exercise during pregnancy, both for the mother and the baby. However, with respect to the pelvic floor muscles, little is known about the influence of physical activity practice during pregnancy on electromyographyc activity of these muscles. Thus, the aim is study the effect of regular physical activity, with an…

Primary Dysmenorrhea (PD) is a common gynecological disorder characterized by colic in the abdominal region in the absence of pelvic disease. Evidence on the use of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) as a non-pharmacological method for improving pain intensity is insufficient in this clinical condition and there are no records on the evaluation of its cost effectiveness an…
The pain of vaginal birth can be an important factor that contributes to the reduction of vaginal birth rates in the world. Objective: To analyze the factors associated with pain during labor and vaginal delivery in Brazilian women. Methods: Cross-sectional study, which will include women up to six months postpartum.

Primary dysmenorrhea (PD) is characterized as menstrual pain (menstrual cramps) in the absence of associated pelvic or uterine pathologies and affects about three-quarters of all women during their reproductive life. A quarter of women using one of the conventional treatments for PD have refractory pain. Self-efficacy is the individual's belief about his ability to adopt a behavior to dea…
It is known that pregnancy and delivery are important risk factors for pelvic floor muscle disorders (PFMD). In addition, it is known that the training of the pelvic floor musculature (PFM), performed during pregnancy or in the postpartum period can reduce the occurrence of these dysfunctions. However, studies demonstrate that the functions and dysfunctions of the pelvic floor muscles are…
