New exercise approach may help women with bladder leakage
NCT ID NCT07075900
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two home exercise programs for women with stress urinary incontinence (leakage during coughing, sneezing, or exercise). One program focuses on pelvic floor muscles, the other on core stabilization. Fifty-one women will participate in a 12-week program, and researchers will measure changes in leakage, muscle strength, and quality of life.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- exercise programs (Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization training and Pelvic Floor Muscle Training)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward a more effective home-based exercise option for managing stress urinary incontinence without surgery or medication.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 51 participants, and the results may not apply to all women. The exercises require consistent effort, and some may not see improvement.
