Magnetic chair therapy aims to strengthen pelvic floor without surgery
NCT ID NCT07792031
First seen Aug 28, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether sitting in a special electromagnetic chair can reduce urinary incontinence episodes in women with mixed urinary incontinence, a condition combining stress and urge leaks. Half of the 58 participants will receive 12 sessions of electromagnetic chair therapy over six weeks, while the other half will receive standard electrostimulation with biofeedback. Researchers will compare the change in daily incontinence episodes from the start to week 6, with follow-up at week 30 to see if any benefits last.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Electromagnetic chair therapy (extracorporeal magnetic stimulation) compared to standard electrostimulation with biofeedback
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer women with mixed urinary incontinence a non-invasive, drug-free alternative to standard pelvic floor therapy, potentially improving bladder control and quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial, and the treatment may not prove as effective as standard care. Some women may not respond, and the effects may not last beyond the study period.
