Summary

This study tests whether a Chinese herbal medicine supplement can reduce urinary incontinence in adults aged 60 and older. 150 participants will receive either the herbal supplement or a placebo, and researchers will track changes in incontinence frequency and quality of life over the study period. The goal is to see if this natural approach offers a safe, effective alternative to current treatments.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Chinese herbal medicine supplement
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a natural, low-side-effect option for managing urinary incontinence in older adults.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage trial with no phase designation, and the herbal formula may prove no better than placebo. Results may not apply to all types of incontinence.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Experience symptoms of urinary incontinence (including stress, urge, or mixed incontinence) as confirmed by clinical assessment or validated screening tools. * Able to understand the study procedures and provide informed consent. * Willing and able to comply with study requirements, including attending study visits, and completing questionnaires. * Stable general medical condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, does not interfere with participation in the study. * Not currently participating in another interventional clinical trial that could affect urinary incontinence outcomes. Exclusion Criteria: * Inability to provide informed consent due to severe cognitive impairment or dementia. * Known allergy or hypersensitivity to any component of the Chinese herbal medicine formulation. * Presence of severe, unstable, or uncontrolled medical conditions that may pose a safety risk or interfere with participation, as determined by the investigator. * Active urinary tract infection at the time of screening (eligible for reconsideration after treatment if appropriate). * Current use of treatments for urinary incontinence that cannot be safely maintained at a stable dose throughout the study period. * Significant neurological or urological conditions that severely affect bladder function, unless stable and deemed appropriate by the investigator. * Participation in another interventional clinical trial that could influence study outcomes or participant safety. * Any other condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would compromise participant safety, study adherence, or data integrity.
