New study tests simple exercises and gadget to stop Post-Baby leaks
NCT ID NCT06411158
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests two non-surgical approaches to reduce urinary leakage in new mothers. About 216 women who recently gave birth and have bothersome leakage will either do guided pelvic floor exercises, use a home biofeedback device called leva®, or receive standard education. The goal is to see which approach works best at 6 months after birth.
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 and home biofeedback device (leva®)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide effective, non-surgical options for new mothers to reduce bothersome urinary leakage after childbirth.
