Which works better for bladder leaks: e-consult or nurse co-management?
NCT ID NCT06040645
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two methods of delivering care for urinary incontinence in primary care settings. In one arm, primary care doctors get electronic specialist advice (e-consult). In the other, a nurse practitioner (APP) provides education and self-management coaching via telemedicine. The trial enrolls 1200 women and measures how well doctors follow evidence-based guidelines and how patients' symptoms improve.
