Can a virtual garden help women regain bladder control?
NCT ID NCT07070063
First seen Jul 24, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026
Summary
This trial tests whether adding immersive virtual reality sessions to standard pelvic floor muscle training improves quality of life for postmenopausal women with urinary incontinence. Participants receive either standard therapy alone or the same therapy preceded by 20-minute VR sessions featuring a calming garden and guided breathing. The study aims to see if the VR-enhanced approach leads to better outcomes in how incontinence affects daily life.
