NCT ID NCT07762391

First seen Aug 13, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This trial tests whether pelvic floor muscle exercises, progressive muscle relaxation, or a combination of both can improve comfort in women with stress urinary incontinence—a condition causing urine leakage during activities like coughing or laughing. Women aged 45-55 with this condition will be randomly assigned to one of four groups: pelvic floor exercises, relaxation exercises, both, or routine care. Over six weeks, researchers will track changes in comfort levels to see if these non-drug approaches offer meaningful relief.
