What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study looked at 150 women with stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine when coughing, sneezing, or exercising) who completed a three-month pelvic floor muscle training program. Researchers measured the anogenital distance (the space between the anus and genitals) and genital hiatus to see if these measurements could predict who would improve. The goal is to find a simple way to identify women most likely to succeed with exercise-based treatment, potentially avoiding unnecessary delays in other therapies.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors identify which women are most likely to benefit from pelvic floor exercises for stress urinary incontinence, allowing for more personalized treatment plans.
What could go wrong
This is a completed observational study, not a treatment trial. The findings may not apply to all women, and the measurements may not reliably predict outcomes in routine practice.
