A study of urine leakage in older women in Hong Kong
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study is looking at older women in Hong Kong who experience involuntary urine leakage. Researchers want to learn more about the different types of leakage and may ask participants to provide small biological samples. The study is not testing a treatment, but gathering information to better understand and help women with this condition.
