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.

What could go wrong

This is a relatively small, early-stage trial comparing two active interventions to education alone. Results may not apply to all women, and the home devices may not work for everyone.
