Magnetic therapy for stress incontinence in older women
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a treatment called HIFEM, which uses electromagnetic energy to strengthen pelvic floor muscles. It is designed for women over 65 who experience daily stress incontinence (leaking when coughing, sneezing, or exercising) and might help them manage leaks without surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 65 and 85 years old.
- You have leakage every day (stress incontinence) and need to wear pads or protective underwear.
- You live independently at home without needing home health care.
- You are able to move around on your own, both inside and outside your home.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two types of pelvic floor muscle stimulation devices to see which better reduces urinary incontinence symptoms in women. If you leak urine, you may benefit from this non-drug treatment option.
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 non-invasive treatment for urinary incontinence in women. It uses magnetic pulses to strengthen pelvic floor muscles. If you leak urine when you cough or sneeze, this treatment might help.
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 trial tests a non-invasive electromagnetic treatment to strengthen pelvic floor muscles in women after vaginal delivery. The goal is to help prevent problems like incontinence before they start in women who had their first baby.
This study compares two non-surgical treatments for women who have a sudden, strong need to urinate (urge urinary incontinence). It tests if electromagnetic field therapy or tibial nerve stimulation can help control these urges and reduce leaking.
