Finding null
Combination therapy (pessary + behavioral) was not superior to single-modality therapy because, although it was better than pessary alone on PGI-I (53% vs 40%, p=0.02) and PFDI (44% vs 33%, p=0.05), it was not better than behavioral therapy alone, failing the pre-specified criterion requiring superiority over both single therapies.
Effect size53% PGI-I, 44% PFDI for combined group
Follow-up3 months
ComparatorBoth pessary alone and behavioral therapy alone (a priori criterion: must beat BOTH to be considered superior)
Effect summarynull; 53% PGI-I, 44% PFDI for combined group
