Incontinence in athletes vs. non-athletes
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how often people have bladder control problems. It compares people who do high-impact sports, people who exercise moderately, and people who don't exercise much. The goal is to see if sport type affects incontinence.

This study tests a pelvic floor muscle training program to improve bladder control and muscle strength in female rugby players. If you leak urine during activity, this could help you manage it while staying active.
This study looks at how trampoline jumping affects the structure of your pelvic floor (the muscles and tissues that support your bladder and other organs) and whether it causes any urine leakage. It may help us understand safe exercise for women who don't usually have leaks.
This study uses a special ultrasound technique to compare the stiffness of tissue under the urethra in women with stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine when coughing, sneezing, or exercising) vs. continent women. It aims to help understand the role of tissue support in incontinence.
This trial compares two ways to treat stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine when you cough, sneeze, or exercise): doing pelvic floor exercises using a smartphone app at home versus attending supervised in-person sessions. The study tests which approach works better and is easier for women to stick with.
This study looks at how multiple sclerosis (MS) affects bladder control and pelvic floor muscles. It may help find better ways to manage urinary incontinence (leaking urine) in women with MS.
This trial tests an adjustable treatment to reduce stress urinary incontinence (urine leaking when you cough, sneeze, or exercise). It’s for women who still leak after trying other treatments and who may be able to have surgery, while excluding certain bladder problems and health risks.
