CRIUGM is pleased to announce that a randomized clinical trial from the Women’s Health and Aging Laboratory, led by Chantal Dumoulin, full professor at Université de Montréal, has received prestigious recognition from the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro), the world’s largest database of clinical trials, reviews and guidelines evaluating physiotherapy.
The randomized clinical trial entitled Group-Based vs Individual Pelvic Floor Muscle Training to Treat Urinary Incontinence in Older Women: A Randomized Clinical Trial has made it into the Top 25 list of the most important randomized clinical trials in physiotherapy, all specialties included, among the trials carefully selected by the PEDro database and validated by its international education and training committee.
PEDro’s Top 25 clinical trials include studies that have transformed rehabilitation practices, helping to improve patients’ quality of life. The addition of the Women’s Health and Aging laboratory study to this list underlines its significant impact on the physiotherapeutic management of women with urinary incontinence. This recognition testifies to the commitment of Chantale Dumoulin and her research team to offering evidence-based physiotherapy treatments that contribute to the advancement of perineal and pelvic rehabilitation.
The laboratory’s randomized clinical trial had already been awarded a prize in the Cochrane systematic review and recommended in several national and international clinical practice guidelines, including those of the International Consultation on Incontinence and the Institut national d’excellence en santé et en services sociaux (INESSS).
Congratulations to the Women’s Health and Aging research team, their collaborators and, in particular, the women who took part in this randomized clinical trial.
