Pelvic floor exercises and vaginal estrogen for stress incontinence in menopause
Treatments studied
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether combining pelvic floor muscle training with vaginal estrogen therapy can help postmenopausal women with stress urinary incontinence. If you leak urine when you cough, sneeze, or exercise, this treatment may strengthen your pelvic floor and improve bladder control.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine with coughing, sneezing, or activity).
- You have been through menopause naturally for at least a year, or had both ovaries removed.
- You are comfortable with a vaginal exam and have had sex before (to allow proper assessment).
- You agree to do pelvic floor exercises daily and use a vaginal estrogen cream as directed.
- You have not had prior treatment for stress incontinence (surgery, medication, or special exercises).

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 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.
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 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.
