Summary
This study tests whether an 8-week bladder training program, supported by smartphone alarm reminders and distraction techniques like bead counting, can help women who still have mixed urinary incontinence after pelvic floor muscle exercises. The trial includes 111 women aged 18-65 who have persistent symptoms. Researchers measure changes in incontinence severity, quality of life, and treatment satisfaction compared to routine care.
