Randomized trial examines recruitment and intervention issues in pelvic organ prolapse, suggesting a new decision-making process.

This research aims to address challenges encountered in feasibility studies and pilot trials for pelvic floor interventions.
Conducted a feasibility study and pilot trial across four centers to randomize 50 women.
Administered postal questionnaires at baseline, 6 months, and 7 months post-randomization.
Developed a systematic decision-making process (ADePT) to address identified problems.
Identified significant issues with participant recruitment and intervention acceptability.
Found minimal evidence supporting decisions for trial transition based on feasibility work.
Developed ADePT to enhance systematic identification and appraisal of solutions to identified problems.

Bugge et al. (2013) studied this question.
