Summary

This study tests whether a Chinese herbal medicine supplement can reduce urinary incontinence in adults aged 60 and older. 150 participants will receive either the herbal supplement or a placebo, and researchers will track changes in incontinence frequency and quality of life over the study period. The goal is to see if this natural approach offers a safe, effective alternative to current treatments.
