Summary

This study tested whether pelvic floor muscle training, mirabegron, or trospium chloride is better for treating urgency urinary incontinence in women aged 60 and older who are also at high risk of falling. 48 women were randomly assigned to one of three groups and followed for six months. The goal was to see if a larger trial is possible and how each treatment affects bladder symptoms and fall risk.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: pelvic floor muscle training, mirabegron, trospium chloride
What this could lead to: If successful, this could show which treatment works best for bladder control in older women who are also at risk of falling, potentially guiding safer care.
What could go wrong: This is a very early feasibility study with only 48 participants, so results may not apply to all women. The treatments may not improve symptoms or fall risk as hoped.
