New study tests simple exercises to stop leakage after childbirth
NCT ID NCT07576283
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two types of core exercises—hypopressive training and transversus abdominis focused training—to see which better reduces urinary incontinence and improves pelvic floor function and quality of life in women after childbirth. Sixty women who had a normal vaginal delivery and experience stress urinary incontinence will participate in a 6-week program. The goal is to find a safe, non-surgical way to help new mothers regain bladder control.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- hypopressive training and transverses abdominis focused core training
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward a simple, drug-free exercise program to help new mothers manage urinary incontinence and improve their quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to all women. The exercises may not work for everyone, and there is no comparison to standard care or a placebo.
