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 study tests whether a high-intensity electromagnetic therapy (a non-invasive treatment using magnetic fields) combined with pelvic floor exercises can help women with stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine). It aims to compare this combination to pelvic floor exercises alone.
This trial tests a device that sends mild electrical pulses to a nerve in your lower back to help control both bowel and bladder leakage. It is for women who have had severe fecal and urinary incontinence for at least six months and have not improved with other treatments.
This trial compares two types of pelvic floor muscle stimulation devices to see which one works better in reducing urine leakage in women with mixed urinary incontinence (a combination of stress and urge incontinence). Participating might help you find an effective, 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 to strengthen pelvic floor muscles for women who leak urine when they cough, sneeze, or exercise. It aims to find the best technique to improve bladder control.
