COPD patients' hidden bladder troubles under the microscope
NCT ID NCT06958042
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study aims to find out how common lower urinary tract symptoms (like leaking or trouble emptying the bladder) are in people with COPD, and how much they know about pelvic floor health. Researchers will ask 30 participants to fill out questionnaires about their breathing, bladder, and quality of life. The goal is to gather information that could help improve care for people with COPD.
