Which device works best for leakage? new study seeks answers
NCT ID NCT06698627
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two store-bought devices for stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine when coughing, sneezing, or exercising). About 80 women will try both devices over 20 days and report which they prefer. The goal is to see if a web-based study is practical and what factors influence device choice.
