Pelvic Floor Research Center Overview

Overview

The Louisville Pelvic Floor Research Group (LPFRG) conducts research studies in conjunction with urogynecological services involving patients throughout Kentucky and Southern Indiana. LPFRG is a not-for-profit organization of physicians with affiliations at Norton Healthcare facilities, Jewish Hospital, and Baptist Hospital East.

Our Continence Center, located on-site with our clinical practice offices, provides urodynamic and anorectal physiological testing for women with pelvic floor disorders such as pelvic organ prolapse, urinary and anal incontinence, and constipation.

The LPFRG Research Center is headed by two fellowship-trained urogynecologists with extensive experience in both basic science and clinical research. Our full time urogynecological-specific research nurse coordinates all of the activities at the center. In addition, we have a fellowship program to train physicians in clinical care and research. Each of these physician fellows completes a Masters of Science program in clinical investigative sciences during their fellowship program.

Our Center is dedicated to finding ways to improve the quality of life for women through both our clinical and research activities.
