NCT ID NCT04078373

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · 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.

behavioral intervention (immediate urination training or scheduled toileting)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide simple, drug-free strategies to improve bladder control and reduce complications like infections or falls in stroke survivors.
