First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 15, 2026 · Updated 10 times
Summary
This study looks at whether adding high-frequency laser therapy to pelvic floor muscle training helps women with stress urinary incontinence. Thirty-six women will be split into three groups: exercises alone, exercises plus real laser, or exercises plus a fake laser. Researchers will measure changes in incontinence severity, quality of life, and sexual function over 10 weeks.

- high-frequency laser therapy
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a non-surgical, low-risk option to reduce urine leakage and improve quality of life for women with stress urinary incontinence.
