Pelvic floor training before surgery for urine leakage
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests if doing pelvic floor exercises before surgery helps women with stress urinary incontinence (leakage when coughing, sneezing, or exercising). It aims to see if preparing the pelvic floor muscles leads to better results after surgery.

This trial combines laser therapy with pelvic floor muscle exercises to treat stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine when you cough, sneeze, or exercise). It may help strengthen the muscles and tissues that control urine flow, reducing leakage.
This study tests if special exercises for the muscles that control urination (pelvic floor muscles) can help men who have had their prostate removed due to cancer to regain bladder control. It may help you if you are older than 40, did not have leaking urine before surgery, and have not had other major surgeries or health issues.
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 tests a pelvic floor muscle training program to improve bladder control and muscle strength in female rugby players. If you leak urine during activity, this could help you manage it while staying active.
This study compares two different exercise programs for women with stress urinary incontinence. One program focuses on movement coordination, and the other focuses on pelvic floor muscle training. The goal is to find which approach works better.
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.
