Bladder wall thickness in women with stress incontinence
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at whether the thickness of the bladder wall is related to how urine leakage is diagnosed in women with stress incontinence. It uses standard tests (ultrasound and urodynamics) to see if bladder wall thickness could help guide treatment decisions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a woman over 18 years old.
- You must have symptoms of stress incontinence (leaking urine when you cough, sneeze, laugh, or exercise) as your main bladder problem.
- You must be willing to have standard tests for bladder issues, including a vaginal ultrasound and a urodynamic exam (where they measure how your bladder stores and releases urine).
- You must not have an overactive bladder as your main problem (sudden strong urges and frequent leaking).
- You must not have had previous surgery for urine leakage.
- You must not have a severe pelvic organ prolapse (a 'dropping' of the bladder or womb beyond the vaginal opening).

This study uses a special ultrasound technique to compare the stiffness of tissue under the urethra in women with stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine when coughing, sneezing, or exercising) vs. continent women. It aims to help understand the role of tissue support in incontinence.
This trial tests an adjustable treatment to reduce stress urinary incontinence (urine leaking when you cough, sneeze, or exercise). It’s for women who still leak after trying other treatments and who may be able to have surgery, while excluding certain bladder problems and health risks.
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 a new device called an artificial urinary sphincter that is implanted to help control severe stress urinary incontinence (leakage when coughing, sneezing, or exercising) in women. The device aims to provide a long-term solution for those who have not improved with other treatments.
This study looks at how the bladder and urethra work during urodynamic testing in people who need that test. It uses ultrasound and pressure measurements to understand bladder function better.
This study looks at how the pelvic floor changes after menopause and whether simple tests like ultrasound and checking how you walk can help understand stress incontinence. It may help find better ways to diagnose this condition.
