Effect of Colpexin Sphere on pelvic floor muscle strength and quality of life in women with pelvic organ prolapse stage I/II: a randomized controlled trial
Abstract
Introduction and hypothesis Colpexin Sphere was effective for advanced pelvic organ prolapse. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of Colpexin Sphere in women with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) stage I or II on pelvic floor muscle strength, quality of life, and POP stage.Methods Women were randomly divided into Colpexin Sphere with pelvic floor muscle exercise group and exercise only group for a 16-week period. They had Colpexin pull test and digital test every 4 weeks. Quality of life and POP stage were re-evaluated at the end of treatment.Results Ninety-one women were recruited and 85 completed. Colpexin Sphere plus pelvic floor exercise improved pelvic floor muscle strength. There was no significant difference between both groups. Vaginal symptom score decreased in both groups while the stages of prolapse did not change.Conclusions Colpexin Sphere plus pelvic floor exercise and exercise alone improved pelvic floor muscle strength.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
