New exercise approach may offer alternative for bladder leakage
NCT ID NCT07009249
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 02, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study compares a newer exercise method called Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) to standard pelvic floor muscle training for women with stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine when coughing, sneezing, or exercising). About 62 women will be randomly assigned to one of the two exercise programs. The goal is to see if DNS works as well as the standard approach in reducing urine leakage and improving pelvic muscle function.
