Sex after artificial sphincter implant study
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how sexual function changes after women get a device called an artificial urinary sphincter to help with incontinence. It may help you understand what to expect if you have this surgery.

This pilot study tests a surgically implanted device designed to help women with severe stress urinary incontinence (uncontrolled urine leakage during activities like coughing or exercise) who have not benefited from physical therapy or previous surgery. The device works like an artificial sphincter to help control urine flow.
This study checks whether an implanted device called ARTUS® can safely and effectively reduce persistent urine leakage in men with severe stress incontinence. You may qualify if your symptoms have been present for over a year and you can attend follow-up visits and manage the device remote control.
This registry study follows men who have ongoing “stress” urine leakage after prostate cancer treatment and choose a sling or an artificial urinary sphincter. It aims to better understand outcomes and quality of life, and your care team uses check-in visits and questionnaires to track progress.
This study looks at men who are having surgery for stress urinary incontinence (urine leakage when coughing, sneezing, or exerting yourself) using devices like a sling or artificial urinary sphincter. It will follow how patients do after surgery using questionnaires, to understand benefits and experiences.
This study tests a new device called UrOActive that helps men with stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine when coughing, sneezing, or moving). It aims to see if the device is safe and works well to control leaks.
This study follows people who choose surgery using a synthetic under-the-urethra vaginal sling for stress urinary incontinence (urine leakage with coughing or exertion). It aims to track outcomes over time and help confirm the sling is safe and works as intended.
