Artificial urinary sphincter for severe stress incontinence in women
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a new device called an artificial urinary sphincter that is implanted to help control severe stress urinary incontinence (leakage when coughing, sneezing, or exercising) in women. The device aims to provide a long-term solution for those who have not improved with other treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
