Brain scans reveal secrets of bladder leaks in women over 60
NCT ID NCT04227184
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how the brain works in women aged 60 and older who have sudden, strong urges to urinate (urgency urinary incontinence). Participants took a medication called trospium or a placebo, and had brain scans (MRI) to see if changes in brain activity relate to fewer leaks. The goal was to learn more about the brain's role in bladder control, not to test a new treatment.
