Pelvic floor training plus vaginal estrogen for stress incontinence
Treatments studied
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman who has gone through menopause, either naturally for at least a year or because your ovaries were surgically removed.
- You leak urine when you cough, laugh, sneeze, or do physical activity (stress urinary incontinence).
- You are comfortable having a pelvic exam, so you need to have had sexual intercourse before.
- You are willing to do daily pelvic floor muscle training and use a vaginal estrogen cream or tablet.
- You cannot have had any prior treatment for stress urinary incontinence (like surgery, medications, or exercises).

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 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 a new type of vaginal treatment that uses electromagnetic energy to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles and help reduce stress urinary incontinence (leaking when you cough, sneeze, or laugh). It is an alternative to surgery, and the researchers want to see how well it works and if it is safe.
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 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 compares pelvic floor movement between healthy women and women with stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine when coughing, sneezing, or laughing). It aims to build a system to assess pelvic floor function, which may help improve diagnosis and treatment.
