Overview

Umbrella review evaluates physiotherapy effects on pelvic organ prolapse outcomes, indicating mixed evidence.

Key Points

  • This umbrella review aims to synthesize systematic reviews assessing physiotherapy interventions following surgery for pelvic organ prolapse.
  • Conducted a literature search in PubMed, Google Scholar, and the CRD databases until January 2025.
  • Included 8 systematic reviews assessing randomized controlled trials of physiotherapy interventions post-surgery compared to control groups.
  • Assessed methodological quality using AMSTAR 2 and ROBIS tools, and performed Corrected Covered Area analysis.
  • Identified 8 systematic reviews containing 11 unique randomized controlled trials with 28% overlap among RCTs.
  • Mixed methodological quality with all systematic reviews being rated low or critically low; 3 out of 8 reviews had low risk of bias.
  • One meta-analysis found a statistically significant effect of pelvic floor muscle training on quality of life (p = 0.03).
