Urinary incontinence in women with COPD during rehabilitation
Part of Kidney & urinary, Lungs & breathing, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how often urinary incontinence (leaking urine without meaning to) happens in women with COPD who are doing a pulmonary rehab program, and how it affects their daily life. It may help doctors better understand the link between lung disease and bladder control, and improve care for women with both conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a community-based maintenance program for people with moderate to severe COPD who have finished an initial 8-week pulmonary rehab. The goal is to help you stay active and keep your health gains.
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 looks at how urinary leakage relates to other common health issues in older adults. It may help doctors better understand and manage these problems together.
This study tests whether a special exercise program called PEMM (which combines pelvic floor and core exercises) can help women with both chronic low back pain and urinary incontinence. It is designed for women who have had back pain and urine leakage for at least 3 months.
This study tests whether a conservative, at-home treatment program can help minority women with bothersome bladder control symptoms. It focuses on simple, non-surgical approaches that you can do at home.
This trial tests whether specific hip muscle exercises can reduce stress urinary incontinence (urine leaks with activities like coughing or exercise). If it works, it could improve bladder control using perineal (pelvic-area) rehabilitation plus hip-focused training.
