Summary

This pilot study is testing whether the PureWick, an external urine collection device, can help women aged 50 and older who wake up to urinate at least twice a night. The goal is to see if using the device reduces the number of nighttime bathroom visits and lowers the risk of falls. Forty women will use the device and be followed for three months to track changes in urination, sleep quality, and any side effects.
