This trial tests a gel injected around the urethra to help it stay closed and prevent urine leaks during activity. It may be an option for women whose stress incontinence hasn't improved with other treatments.
This study tests if a small device called TENS (which uses mild electrical pulses) can reduce pain when getting an IUD placed. If you are coming to MUSC Women's Health for an IUD insertion and choose a specific type, you may be able to join.
This study compares two procedures for stress urinary incontinence: a bulking agent injection and a single-incision sling. If you're a woman who leaks urine with activity, you may be randomly assigned to get one of these treatments to see which works better over time.
This study compares two types of pelvic floor muscle stimulation devices to see which better reduces urinary incontinence symptoms in women. If you leak urine, you may benefit from this non-drug treatment option.
