The research will be conducted at a single hospital and will involve pregnant women in their second trimester who enroll in an online childbirth course. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups:\n\nOne group will receive standard pushing instructions from a midwife.\n\nThe other group will receive the same instructions along with a brief ultrasound session to visually support correct pushing techniques.\n\nThe primary outcome is a potential reduction in the duration of the second stage of labor (when the baby is being delivered). Secondary outcomes include improved coordination of pelvic floor muscles, fewer perineal tears, a higher rate of vaginal births, reduced postnatal urinary incontinence, and greater maternal satisfaction.\n\nApproximately 136 women will be enrolled in the study (accounting for potential dropouts). The expectation is that this integrated teaching approach will enhance the effectiveness, safety, and overall experience of pushing during labor for both mothers and their newborns.",[27,28,29,30,31,32],"Transperineal Ultrasound","Midwife-led Pushing Training Program","Duration of the Second Stage","Coactivation Rates of Pelvic Floor Muscles","Maternal Satisfaction","Perineal Tear Rates","RECRUITING","2025-08-18",{"date":36,"type":37},"2025-08-22","ACTUAL",{"date":39,"type":37},"2025-07-19",{"date":41,"type":21},"2026-05-27",{"name":43,"class":44},"Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS","OTHER",1,{"id":47,"slug":48,"hasResults":11,"nctId":49,"briefTitle":50,"officialTitle":50,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":51,"healthyVolunteers":52,"sex":17,"minAge":53,"maxAge":54,"enrollmentInfo":55,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":22,"phases":57,"briefSummary":58,"conditions":59,"keywords":70,"overallStatus":33,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":79,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":80,"startDateStruct":82,"completionDateStruct":84,"leadSponsor":86,"locationsCount":45},"100597993","transperineal-ultrasound-as-a-biofeedback-tool-for-pelvic-floor-muscle-therapy-in-postpartum-patients-100597993","NCT07065708","Transperineal Ultrasound as a Biofeedback Tool for Pelvic Floor Muscle Therapy in Postpartum Patients","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Female participants\n* Aged 21 - 45 years old.\n* Within 4 months of a singleton, vaginal delivery\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Currently pregnant\n* Over 4 months since vaginal birth.\n* Previous caesarean delivery.\n* Previous pelvic floor surgery (eg. pelvic floor repair, continence surgery, cervicetomy,cosmetic pelvic floor procedures)\n* Neurological disorder affecting muscle contraction (eg.

Pelvic floor muscle exercises are generally encouraged by healthcare providers to their patients after birth. However, it is often difficult to confirm whether a patient is performing pelvic floor muscle contractions correctly. A supervised pelvic floor physiotherapy session allows a professional to assess the pelvic floor and give their verbal feedback to patients. However even in this setting, patient's are reliant on the physiotherapist and have no way to assess their own performance. The 'biofeedback approach' allows for the clinician and patient to visually assess and modify their performance and can potentially allow for more effective therapy and better engagement. Transperineal ultrasonography is a widely available, safe and non-invasive biofeedback tool that can used at the bedside in order to assess pelvic floor muscle contractions. Our aim is to assess if using transperineal ultrasound can enhance the ability of postpartum patients to perform effective pelvic floor muscle therapy.",[60,27,61,62,63,64,65,66,67,68,69],"Pelvic Floor Muscle Training","Biofeedback Therapy","Postpartum","Pelvic Floor Disorder","Pelvic Floor Muscle Exercise","Pelvic Floor, Obstetric","Pelvic Floor Dysfunction","Pelvic Floor Health After Childbirth","Physiotherapy","Physiotherapy Specialty",[71,72,73,74,75,76,77,78],"pelvic floor muscle training","biofeedback","transperineal ultrasound","pelvic floor exercises","physiotherapy","pelvic floor dysfunction","pelvic floor disorder","pelvic floor contraction","2025-07-03",{"date":81,"type":37},"2025-07-15",{"date":83,"type":37},"2025-05-20",{"date":85,"type":21},"2026-09",{"name":87,"class":44},"Singapore General Hospital"]
