NCT ID NCT07330739
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at why women with stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine when coughing, sneezing, or exercising) develop kinesiophobia—a fear of movement. Researchers will survey 112 women to measure their fear of movement, physical activity levels, incontinence severity, and sleep quality. The goal is to identify what causes this fear, which could help design better support and treatment in the future.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this research could help healthcare providers better understand and address fear of movement in women with stress urinary incontinence, potentially improving treatment approaches.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study using surveys only, so it cannot directly test treatments or prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to all women with incontinence.
