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 whether doing pelvic floor muscle exercises (Kegel exercises) after prostate removal surgery helps improve bladder control and reduce urine leakage. If you're recovering from prostate surgery and didn't have leakage before, these exercises might help you regain continence faster.
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 trial tests different ways of doing pelvic floor exercises to see which works best for women with stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine when you cough, sneeze, or exercise). It aims to find the most effective technique to help you manage this condition.
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.
