Summary

This study tested two non-invasive treatments—pulsed electromagnetic field therapy and laser acupuncture—for stress urinary incontinence in 60 women. Both were added to pelvic floor muscle training. The goal was to see which better strengthens pelvic muscles and reduces accidental urine leakage during activities like coughing or exercise.

What this could mean

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

Active substance: Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy and laser acupuncture
What this could lead to: If successful, this could point toward a non-invasive, drug-free option to improve pelvic floor strength and reduce urine leakage in women with stress incontinence.
What could go wrong: This is a small, completed trial with only 60 participants. Results may not apply to all women, and the benefits over standard pelvic floor training alone are uncertain.
