Could a simple vaginal cup help women with fistula leakage?
NCT ID NCT05444504
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This trial tests two insertable vaginal cup devices to help manage urine leakage in women with obstetric fistula, a condition where an opening between the vagina and bladder causes constant leaking. One hundred women who are waiting for surgery or whose surgery failed will try both a basic cup and a cup attached to a leg bag. The study measures how much leakage is reduced and how acceptable the devices are to users.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
insertable vaginal cup device
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a non-surgical way to manage fistula-related urine leakage, improving comfort and quality of life for women who cannot have or did not benefit from surgery.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage trial with only 100 participants, so results may not apply to all women. The devices may not fit everyone or may cause discomfort, and they do not repair the fistula itself.
