This study tests whether a special breathing exercise (strengthening the muscles you use to breathe out) can help women with stress urinary incontinence. You will be asked to do these exercises for a few weeks to see if they improve bladder control.
This study tests a type of exercise called Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization to see if it helps women with urine leakage. You may be able to join if you leak urine when you cough, sneeze, or exercise and have not done pelvic floor training before.
This study compares how the pelvic floor (muscles that support bladder and bowel) moves in women with and without stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine when coughing, sneezing, or exercising). Researchers are building a tool to better assess pelvic floor health in Chinese women.
This trial tests whether combining pelvic floor muscle training with vaginal estrogen therapy can help postmenopausal women with stress urinary incontinence. If you leak urine when you cough, sneeze, or exercise, this treatment may strengthen your pelvic floor and improve bladder control.
This trial tests if using virtual reality to guide pelvic floor exercises can help women regain bladder control after childbirth. If you have mild urine leakage and are 3-6 months post-vaginal delivery, this therapy might strengthen your pelvic muscles without surgery.
This study compares two types of core-strengthening exercises designed to help women with postpartum urinary incontinence (leaking urine when coughing, sneezing, or exercising). You'll be assigned to one exercise program and tracked over time to see which works better.
