Comparing two surgical tape methods for stress incontinence
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two surgical techniques for treating stress urinary incontinence in women. It aims to see which method is more effective and safe.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two types of surgery for female stress urinary incontinence: one using a small piece of mesh tape (TOT) and another that tightens natural tissues without mesh (PLP). It aims to see which works better and has fewer side effects.
This study is for women with stress urinary incontinence who have not been helped by non-surgical treatments. It will test how well the I-STOP sling works over time to treat urine leakage during activities like coughing or exercise.
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 trial studies a surgery that uses the patient’s own tissue to place a supportive sling for stress urinary incontinence (leakage with coughing, sneezing, or exercise). It may help women who haven’t improved with conservative treatments or who prefer not to try more non-surgical options.
This trial compares two laparoscopic (camera-assisted) surgery techniques for stopping stress urinary incontinence—leaks that happen when you cough, sneeze, or exercise. It may help determine which approach works better and with fewer problems for the right patients.
This study looks at long-term results of a sling operation placed under the urethra using your own tissue to reduce urine leakage during activities like coughing or exercise. It may help women whose stress incontinence has not improved with conservative treatments (or who don’t want more non-surgical treatment).
