Summary

This study tested a reusable vaginal pessary device to help women with stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine when coughing, sneezing, or exercising). Each woman acted as her own control, comparing leak amounts with and without the device. The study was terminated early and only included 7 participants, so the results are not reliable.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Vaginal pessary (device)
What this could lead to
If effective, this device could offer a non-surgical option to help women with stress urinary incontinence leak less urine.
What could go wrong
The study was terminated early and only enrolled 7 people, so results are very limited. It is unclear if the device works better than no treatment.
