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 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 study is testing a new way to look at the bladder wall thickness using ultrasound in women with stress incontinence. It may help doctors understand how well the bladder works and guide treatment decisions.
This trial compares two tests (PFU and UDS) to see which one better helps diagnose stress urinary incontinence in women. It aims to find a simpler and more comfortable way to confirm the condition.
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.
