Muscle fragment treatment trial for urinary incontinence
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a non-pregnant, non-breast-feeding adult woman (ages 18–75), using effective birth control if sexually active
- You have urinary incontinence from sphincter weakness (including stress urinary incontinence or a related inherited condition) and a history of primary incontinence
- Your bladder test shows bladder capacity over 100 ml (your bladder can hold more than about a cup)
- Your kidney function is normal, and you do not have certain bladder conditions like infection, overactive bladder, or poor bladder “compliance”
- You are not on medicines or supplements that affect urination, and you are not using immune-suppressing medicines or blood-thinning treatments related to bleeding/coagulation disorders

This trial tests a new treatment using your own muscle stem cells to help strengthen the muscle that controls urination. It is designed for boys with epispadias who leak urine, and the goal is to improve bladder control without major surgery.
This study tests whether pelvic floor muscle training (exercises to strengthen the muscles that control urine flow) can help women with myotonic dystrophy type 1 who have bladder leakage. It's a gentle, non-surgical approach that may improve quality of life.
This trial tests whether injecting your own (autologous) muscle fragments into the anal area can reduce fecal incontinence. It’s for adults with frequent symptoms who have already tried standard medicines and procedures.
This trial tests a surgery that uses a muscle from your belly to help your bladder empty. It may be an option if you have trouble urinating because your bladder muscle is too weak to contract.
This trial tests whether a single injection of stem cells from donated fat tissue can help women over 50 with stress urinary incontinence. It is for those who haven't gotten better with exercises or who want to avoid surgery.
This trial compares two surgical methods to treat stress urinary incontinence in women. One uses a graft made from donated umbilical vein tissue, and the other uses your own tissue (fascia) to support the urethra. The goal is to see if the donated tissue works as well as your own tissue but avoids an extra incision.
