Simple toilet training may ease Post-Stroke bladder problems
NCT ID NCT04078373
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at urinary problems in people recovering from a stroke. Researchers compare patients with and without bladder issues and test two simple behavioral approaches: for those with thinking difficulties, training to go to the toilet immediately when they feel the urge; for those with normal thinking, scheduled bathroom visits every 2-3 hours. The goal is to see if these methods improve continence and reduce related complications like infections or falls.
