Pelvic floor movement study for women with or without stress incontinence
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares pelvic floor movement between healthy women and women with stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine when coughing, sneezing, or laughing). It aims to build a system to assess pelvic floor function, which may help improve diagnosis and treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 18 and 60 years old.

This study compares two surgical procedures for stress urinary incontinence (leakage of urine during activities like coughing or sneezing) in women. The goal is to see which approach provides better results, potentially improving quality of life.
This study tests whether a special breathing muscle training program can help women with stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine during cough, sneeze, or exercise) by strengthening muscles that support the bladder.
This study looks at how much women with stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine when you cough, sneeze, or exercise) know about their condition. It's a survey-based study to help improve future care.
This study compares two different exercise programs for women with stress urinary incontinence. One program focuses on movement coordination, and the other focuses on pelvic floor muscle training. The goal is to find which approach works better.
This study tests whether combining a special pelvic floor exercise program with vaginal estrogen therapy is more effective than usual care for postmenopausal women with stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine during cough, laugh, or physical activity). If you qualify, you will receive both treatments and be monitored to see if your symptoms improve.
This study tests whether adding mental practice (imagining the exercises) to standard pelvic floor muscle training helps postmenopausal women with stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine when you cough, sneeze, or exercise) improve their symptoms. It aims to see if this extra mental approach makes the training more effective.
