Acupuncture for mild to moderate stress urine leaks
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial studies whether an “optimized” acupuncture treatment can reduce urine leakage caused by stress, like coughing or laughing. It is mainly for adults with mild to moderate stress urinary incontinence who are medically able to receive acupuncture.
