ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on understanding pelvic floor disorders among female physiotherapy students at Cairo University. Researchers want to find out how common these issues are in this group, what might be causing them, and how aware these students are about their pelvic floor health. Additionally, the study will look into how these students use healthcare resources to address any concerns related to pelvic floor problems.

To participate in this study, you need to be a female undergraduate physiotherapy student aged between 18 and 25 who has not had any abdominal surgery or certain medical conditions that could affect pelvic floor function. If you join, you can expect to answer questions about your health and experiences related to pelvic floor issues. This study is currently looking for volunteers, so if you meet the eligibility criteria and are interested, you could help contribute to important research in this area.
