Summary

This study tests whether group physiotherapy is as good as individual sessions for treating urinary incontinence in women aged 60 and older. Over 360 participants will receive either weekly group classes or one-on-one therapy for 12 weeks, both focusing on pelvic floor exercises and education. The goal is to see if the group approach is a cost-effective alternative that could be offered as a first-line treatment.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
physiotherapy (pelvic floor muscle training and education)
What this could lead to
If group therapy works as well as individual sessions, it could offer a more affordable and accessible treatment option for older women with urinary incontinence.
What could go wrong
This is a non-inferiority trial, so group therapy might prove less effective. Results may not apply to all women, and the study is not testing a new drug or cure.
