NCT ID NCT04829175
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 07, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study is a long-term registry that will follow 1,000 women who receive pelvic mesh products for stress urinary incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse. Researchers will track how well the mesh works and any complications over 5 to 10 years. The goal is to gather real-world data on safety and effectiveness.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this registry could provide reliable long-term safety and effectiveness data for pelvic mesh products, helping doctors and patients make informed decisions.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational registry, not a controlled trial, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may take years and could show complications or limited benefit.
