Wobbly foam workouts may cut leakage in women
NCT ID NCT04390204
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a program of reflex postural control exercises on a foam surface can reduce stress urinary incontinence in women. 88 women participated, doing supervised exercises and a home program. The main goal was to see if urine leakage decreased after the program.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- motor control exercises on a foam surface
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this could offer a simple, non-invasive exercise program to reduce urine leakage in women with stress urinary incontinence.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed trial with no phase designation. The results may not be generalizable, and the effect of foam surface exercises over standard care remains uncertain.
