Langley, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06094543Recruiting
Improving access and adherence for overactive bladder treatment
This study compares two ways to help women with overactive bladder get treatment and stick with it. You might be able to join if you are a woman with ongoing OAB symptoms and haven't had certain treatments recently.
Redwood City, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05719220Recruiting
Group pelvic floor training before HoLEP surgery
This trial tests whether group pelvic floor exercises done before HoLEP surgery can improve recovery and urinary symptoms in men with an enlarged prostate. It may help some people feel better sooner by strengthening the muscles that control urination.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 50–90 - NCT07456865Recruiting
Device for Urge Incontinence: Long-Term Effectiveness Study
This trial tests a device that sends mild electrical pulses to a nerve in your ankle to help control sudden, strong urges to urinate (urinary urge incontinence). It is designed for people who have not had success with other treatments.
Homewood, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT03767595Recruiting
Study of ProACT implant for long-term urine leak control
This study follows men who have urine leakage from stress (leakage with movement/coughing) after prostate surgery and receive a ProACT device. It looks at long-term outcomes over 5 years and checks safety, including for those who may need device removal or other treatments.
Denver, ColoradoAges 50 years+ - NCT04078373Recruiting
Rehab study of bladder problems after recent stroke
This trial looks at urinary (bladder) problems in people who are in the early recovery phase after a stroke, while they receive inpatient rehabilitation. It may help improve how bladder issues are managed during rehab after stroke.
LjubljanaAges Any age - NCT04506593Recruiting
GI Motility diagnosis registry for people with digestion movement problems
This trial is a registry, meaning it collects information about people being evaluated for problems with how the gut moves. It may help doctors better diagnose gastrointestinal motility disorders in the future.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges Any age - NCT04527445Recruiting
Test to use less X-ray during sacral nerve lead placement
This trial studies whether doctors can place a sacral neuromodulation lead using fewer X-rays. If you’re getting this procedure for overactive bladder, it may help reduce radiation exposure while still guiding correct lead placement.
Loma Linda, CaliforniaAges 18–89 - NCT04707976Recruiting
Smart anal irrigation vs standard care for bowel issues in MS
This study compares a smart device for transanal irrigation with regular bowel care in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) who have ongoing bowel problems. It aims to see if the smart irrigation approach improves bowel control and reduces symptoms.
AarhusAges 18 years+ - NCT04772131Recruiting
One-incision sling surgery for stress urine leakage
This trial tests whether a one-incision sling can improve stress urinary incontinence (urine leakage with coughing, sneezing, or physical activity). You may be eligible if you have confirmed stress leakage and are considering surgery after trying other options.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04829357Recruiting
Follow-up study for a sling to treat stress urine leaks
This study follows people who choose surgery using a synthetic under-the-urethra vaginal sling for stress urinary incontinence (urine leakage with coughing or exertion). It aims to track outcomes over time and help confirm the sling is safe and works as intended.
North Wales, PennsylvaniaAges 21 years+ - NCT04829175Recruiting
Pelvic mesh follow-up registry for stress leaks and/or prolapse
This registry follows women having pelvic repair surgery that uses synthetic mesh or a synthetic sling. It helps track outcomes over time and may reassure patients that long-term safety and results are being monitored.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 21 years+ - NCT04918329Recruiting
Digestive symptom check-in study for adults
This study follows adults with long-lasting “functional” digestive symptoms as part of routine care. It may help researchers better understand these conditions and improve how they are managed.
RouenAges 18 years+ - NCT06511141Recruiting
Nerve stimulation for men with overactive bladder
This study tests a nerve stimulation device placed near the tailbone to help men with overactive bladder symptoms. If you have bothersome urinary urgency or frequency, this treatment may offer relief without drugs.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 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 - 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 - 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 - NCT05141487Recruiting
Testing a nerve stimulation trigger for bladder control
This study tests whether a “triggered” nerve stimulation therapy can help people with nerve-related bladder problems hold urine better and empty their bladder more comfortably. It mainly looks at whether the approach is safe and workable for patients.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05194137Recruiting
Training pelvic floor muscle with biofeedback or exam guidance
This study compares two ways to help women learn how to tighten the pelvic floor muscles. It may help women with pelvic floor problems and urinary leaking by improving muscle control using either biofeedback or clinician guidance.
Ribeirão Preto, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT05200923Recruiting
Testing a pelvic nerve device study for bladder and bowel leaks
This study checks how well an implanted pelvic nerve system works for people with bladder overactivity, non-obstructive urinary retention, or fecal incontinence. You may need to keep your current medications steady and track symptoms closely with diaries before and during evaluation.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT05255289Recruiting
Midurethral sling surgery for stress urine leakage
This trial studies how safe and effective a midurethral sling operation is for people with stress urinary incontinence (urine leakage with coughing, laughing, or exercise). It also requires special bladder testing before and after surgery to measure results.
