Elasticity check of tissue under the urethra in women
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have stress urinary incontinence, meaning you leak urine when you cough, sneeze, laugh, or exercise.
- You are not currently pregnant and it has been at least 6 months since giving birth.
- You have not had pelvic cancer or radiation therapy in the pelvic area.
- You have not been diagnosed with urge incontinence (sudden strong need to pee) or overactive bladder.
- You do not have pelvic organ prolapse (a dropped bladder or uterus) that is moderate or severe.
- You do not have nerve problems affecting bladder control, and you have not had frequent or active urinary tract infections.

This study compares two surgical procedures for stress urinary incontinence (leakage of urine during activities like coughing or sneezing) in women. The goal is to see which approach provides better results, potentially improving quality of life.
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 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 study tests a device for women with a specific amount of urine leakage caused by stress (like coughing). But if your main problem is a sudden urge to go, or you have a constant dribble, you won't qualify.
This study uses ultrasound to see how pelvic floor muscles change during rest and while lifting weights. It helps understand how these muscles work for people who squat and deadlift.
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.
