Simple breathing trick boosts kegel results for bladder leakage
NCT ID NCT07537309
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether adding diaphragmatic breathing to standard Kegel exercises can improve pelvic floor muscle strength and quality of life in women who have had multiple pregnancies and suffer from stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine when coughing, sneezing, or exercising). About 84 women aged 25-45 will do the combined exercises for 6 weeks. Researchers will measure muscle strength, endurance, and quality of life using a special device and a questionnaire.
