Can a High-Tech probe help women stop leaking urine?
NCT ID NCT03985345
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a connected biofeedback probe called EMY, which women use at home with a mobile app to train their pelvic floor muscles. The goal was to see if it improves quality of life for women with stress urinary incontinence—leaking urine when coughing, sneezing, or exercising. Fifty-five women who had given birth at least six months earlier used the device for 10 minutes, five days a week. The study measured changes in quality of life and how well women stuck to the training plan.
