NCT ID NCT07186985

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether adding pelvic floor muscle training to vaginal estrogen therapy helps postmenopausal women with stress urinary incontinence more than estrogen alone. About 115 women will be randomly assigned to either the combined treatment or estrogen-only group. The goal is to see if the combination reduces urine leakage better over 6 months.

Active substance

pelvic floor muscle training and vaginal estrogen therapy

What this could lead to

If successful, this could offer a more effective non-surgical option for managing stress urinary incontinence in postmenopausal women.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage trial with only 115 participants, so results may not apply to all women. The combination therapy may not prove significantly better than estrogen alone.
