Knack exercise for sexual health in women with mild to moderate stress incontinence
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a simple pelvic floor exercise, called the Knack, can improve sexual function in women who have mild to moderate stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine when you cough, sneeze, or exercise). If you are a woman between 25 and 45, have given birth at least once, and have a less active lifestyle, this study may be for you.
