Recruiting studies
- NCT05989646Recruiting
Brain activity study in children with overactive bladder
This study looks at brain activity in children with overactive bladder and daytime wetting compared to healthy children. It uses MRI scans to understand how the brain controls the bladder, which could lead to better treatments.
AalborgAges 6–14 - NCT05832268Enrolling by invitation
Pelvic floor recovery after childbirth anal sphincter injury
This study looks at how the pelvic floor (the support muscles and tissues) works in people who had a specific anal sphincter injury during vaginal birth, compared with people who had uncomplicated vaginal deliveries. It may help doctors better understand recovery and function after childbirth injuries.
OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT05635175Recruiting
Hip abductor training for women with stress urine leakage
This trial tests whether specific hip muscle exercises can reduce stress urinary incontinence (urine leaks with activities like coughing or exercise). If it works, it could improve bladder control using perineal (pelvic-area) rehabilitation plus hip-focused training.
CaenAges 18 years+ - NCT04976153RecruitingPhase 3
Stem cell implant to treat fecal urge incontinence
This Phase 3 study tests an implant made from a person’s own muscle-related cells to improve fecal “urge” leakage. It’s for adults whose symptoms haven’t improved enough with usual conservative treatments.
GrazAges 18 years+ - NCT04248283Recruiting
Adjustable continence therapy for stress urine leakage
This trial tests an adjustable treatment to reduce stress urinary incontinence (urine leaking when you cough, sneeze, or exercise). It’s for women who still leak after trying other treatments and who may be able to have surgery, while excluding certain bladder problems and health risks.
Denver, ColoradoAges 22 years+ - NCT04133675Recruiting
Emsella chair test for stress urine leakage
This study compares the Emsella chair treatment to a fake (sham) treatment to see which works better for stress urinary incontinence—leaking urine with coughing, laughing, or exertion. If you qualify, you may get the real chair, and you will complete questionnaires and follow specific rules about other treatments.
Royal Oak, MichiganAges 18–80 - NCT01953263RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Muscle fragment treatment trial for urinary incontinence
This early-phase trial tests a treatment made from muscle fragments to improve urinary incontinence caused by weakness of the urethral “sphincter” (the valve that holds urine). It may help people with certain types of incontinence, but it also requires meeting several bladder and health criteria for safety.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 18–75 - NCT01194648Recruiting
HIFU treatment for early prostate cancer
This trial studies a focused ultrasound treatment called HIFU for prostate cancer that appears limited to the early stages. It aims to treat cancer within the prostate while avoiding treatment spread to lymph nodes or distant organs.
London, EnglandAges Up to 90 years - NCT02316275Recruiting
Exercise after sling surgery to help bladder leakage
This trial studies whether an easy, flexible exercise plan after mid-urethral sling surgery helps improve stress urinary incontinence (bladder leakage with coughing or activity). You may be asked to follow the exercise plan and attend follow-up visits for up to 2 years to see how symptoms change over time.
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02901392Recruiting
Sling or artificial urinary sphincter after prostate cancer
This registry study follows men who have ongoing “stress” urine leakage after prostate cancer treatment and choose a sling or an artificial urinary sphincter. It aims to better understand outcomes and quality of life, and your care team uses check-in visits and questionnaires to track progress.
ValenciaAges 18 years+ - NCT04935918Recruiting
Adjustable bladder balloon treatment for urinary leakage
This trial studies how safe and effective adjustable balloons in the bladder are for children and teens with bladder exstrophy or isolated epispadias who have urine leakage. It may help reduce incontinence while monitoring bladder and kidney safety.
Marseille, PACAAges 5–18 - NCT05009433Recruiting
Exercise plans in pregnancy and afterward for mom and baby health
This study compares two types of exercise—short, intense intervals versus moderate steady activity—during pregnancy and looks at effects on mothers and children. It also checks how participants do on health, fitness, and well-being tests before, during, and after pregnancy.
Gdansk, Pomeranian VoivodeshipAges 18–45 - NCT05698576Recruiting
Laser treatment through the skin for men with prostate cancer
This trial tests a laser procedure done through the skin between the scrotum and anus, guided by MRI and ultrasound, for men with certain prostate cancer types. It aims to heat and treat prostate cancer while checking safety and outcomes over follow-up visits.
Hialeah, FloridaAges 50–80 - NCT05778552Recruiting
Home pelvic floor training follow-up for bladder and pelvic support issues
This study checks how well a home-based pelvic muscle training program works over the medium and long term for people with stress urine leakage and pelvic support problems. It may help you learn whether this at-home exercise plan improves bladder control and comfort over time.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT02306382Recruiting
Study for diagnosing and treating perianal abscesses with surgery
This study focuses on people 18 and older who have a perianal abscess that needs surgical treatment. It aims to improve how these abscesses are diagnosed and managed, including care around surgery.
Umeå, County of Vasterbotten §Ages 18 years+ - NCT04936581Recruiting
Quality of life after rectal cancer surgery
This study looks at patient-reported outcomes—how you feel and function—after surgery for rectal cancer. It may help doctors better understand recovery and well-being after different surgical approaches and treatments.
MadridAges 18–100 - NCT07851519Enrolling by invitation
Skin barrier spray for pressure injury prevention in incontinent older adults
This study tests a moisturizing skin care routine with a barrier spray to prevent bedsores in older adults who have trouble controlling their bladder or bowels. If you are 65 or older and have some skin intact, this could help you stay healthy.
Hong KongAges 2 months+ - NCT07847385Recruiting
MRI-guided nerve-sparing for prostate cancer surgery
This study tests whether using special MRI scans to map nerves before surgery helps keep erectile function after prostate removal. It may help men who are having surgery for prostate cancer and want to preserve sexual function.
Geneva, Canton of GenevaAges 18 years+ - NCT06443268Recruiting
Stroke and quality of life study with caregivers
This study looks at quality of life for people who have had a recent stroke or mini-stroke, and their caregivers. You and a close relative or friend both take part in interviews and surveys over time.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT04110821Recruiting
Quality of life after prolapse treatment, surgery or non-surgery
This study looks at how people’s quality of life changes after treatment for pelvic organ prolapse, comparing conservative (non-surgical) and surgical options. It may help doctors understand which approach leads to better day-to-day well-being for similar patients.
BaselAges 18 years+ - NCT07757633Recruiting
Pelvic floor training for urine leaks in women's rugby players
This study tests a pelvic floor muscle training program to improve bladder control and muscle strength in female rugby players. If you leak urine during activity, this could help you manage it while staying active.
