This study tests whether a special breathing muscle training program can help women with stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine during cough, sneeze, or exercise) by strengthening muscles that support the bladder.
This study tests whether adding mental practice (imagining the exercises) to standard pelvic floor muscle training helps postmenopausal women with stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine when you cough, sneeze, or exercise) improve their symptoms. It aims to see if this extra mental approach makes the training more effective.
This study compares pelvic floor movement between healthy women and women with stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine when coughing, sneezing, or laughing). It aims to build a system to assess pelvic floor function, which may help improve diagnosis and treatment.
This study looks at how different positions during childbirth (like lying on your back vs. upright) affect the strength and function of your pelvic floor muscles after birth. It aims to find the best position to help new mothers recover better and avoid problems like incontinence.
This study tests whether combining a special pelvic floor exercise program with vaginal estrogen therapy is more effective than usual care for postmenopausal women with stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine during cough, laugh, or physical activity). If you qualify, you will receive both treatments and be monitored to see if your symptoms improve.
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.
