Adjustable sling surgery for mixed urinary incontinence
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests a surgically placed adjustable sling (a small tape that supports the urethra) to treat mixed urinary incontinence in women. The goal is to reduce both stress leaks (from coughing, sneezing, laughter, or exercise) and urgent leaks (strong, sudden need to urinate).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman aged 18 or older.
- You have mixed urinary incontinence – meaning you leak both when you cough, sneeze, laugh, or exercise (stress leaks) and also have a sudden strong urge to urinate (urgency leaks), with the stress component being at least as important as the urgency.
- Your symptoms are moderate to severe – not just mild and occasional.
- You have not had a sling or mesh placed under your urethra before.
- You have not had surgery for pelvic organ prolapse.
- You do not have chronic pelvic pain syndrome or significant pelvic organ prolapse, and you are not pregnant.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two procedures for stress urinary incontinence: a bulking agent injection and a single-incision sling. If you're a woman who leaks urine with activity, you may be randomly assigned to get one of these treatments to see which works better over time.
This trial tests a new implant that stimulates a nerve in your pelvic area to help control both stress and urge urine leaks. It might be an option if you've tried other treatments like bladder training or medicine and they didn't help enough or caused side effects.
This trial studies how safe and effective a midurethral sling operation is for people with stress urinary incontinence (urine leakage with coughing, laughing, or exercise). It also requires special bladder testing before and after surgery to measure results.
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.
This trial studies whether an easy, flexible exercise plan after mid-urethral sling surgery helps improve stress urinary incontinence (bladder leakage with coughing or activity). You may be asked to follow the exercise plan and attend follow-up visits for up to 2 years to see how symptoms change over time.
This study compares two types of sling surgery to treat stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine during activities like coughing or exercise). It aims to see if a synthetic (man-made) sling works as well as a sling made from your own body tissue, which may help you choose the best option.
