Pelvic Floor Exercises and Nerve Stimulation for Stress Incontinence
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether combining pelvic floor exercises (called Paula exercises) with gentle electrical stimulation of a nerve in your leg can reduce involuntary urine leakage when you cough, sneeze, or exercise. It's designed for women who have had at least two vaginal deliveries and experience stress incontinence.

This trial tests a treatment called sacral neuromodulation, which uses a small device to send mild electrical pulses to nerves in the lower back, helping control both bowel and bladder leaks. It is for women who have had both fecal and urinary incontinence for more than 6 months and have not improved with other treatments.
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 study tests whether combining balance training with pelvic floor exercises can help women with urinary leakage. It aims to improve bladder control and quality of life.
This study compares two types of exercises designed to help women who leak urine after vaginal delivery. The goal is to see which approach works better at reducing or stopping leakage.
This trial tests different ways of doing pelvic floor exercises to see which works best for women with stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine when you cough, sneeze, or exercise). It aims to find the most effective technique to help you manage this condition.
This study tests whether special pelvic floor muscle exercises using modern tools can help women with stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine when you cough, sneeze, or exercise). It may offer a non-surgical way to strengthen the muscles that control urine flow.
