Blood-based injections for stress urine leakage in menopausal women
Treatments studied
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether injecting a special preparation of your own blood (called platelet-rich plasma) around the urethra can help stop urine leakage in women who have gone through menopause and cannot have surgery. It's a possible option for women whose stress incontinence hasn't improved with non-surgical treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman aged 45 or older who has gone through menopause.

This study tests whether special pelvic floor muscle exercises using modern tools can help women with stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine when you cough, sneeze, or exercise). It may offer a non-surgical way to strengthen the muscles that control urine flow.
This study tests a new artificial urinary sphincter (a device that helps control urine flow) for men with severe stress incontinence (leakage during activity) that has lasted over a year. If you qualify, the device is implanted to help you stay dry. It is not for everyone, so the study will check your health history carefully.
This study tests a non-surgical treatment using your own blood (PRP) and special threads (PDO) to help with stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine when you cough, sneeze, or exercise). It may be an option if other treatments haven't worked and you are waiting for surgery.
This trial compares two treatments for overactive bladder (OAB) that hasn't improved with standard medications: injections of platelet-rich plasma (a substance from your own blood) versus botulinum toxin (Botox). Both are injected into the bladder to help reduce urgency and leakage.
This trial tests whether a treatment made from your own blood (platelet-rich plasma, or PRP) can help reduce urine leakage in women with stress urinary incontinence. You may be eligible if you've already tried pelvic floor exercises without enough relief and you're looking for another option.
This study is testing if an injection of your own platelet-rich plasma into the bladder can help with overactive bladder. The goal is to find a new treatment option for people who have not found relief from other treatments.
