New ultrasound method may predict how bad urinary leakage gets
NCT ID NCT03566121
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether special ultrasound measurements of the urethra can predict how severe a woman's stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine when coughing, sneezing, or exercising) will be. Researchers measured the length and angle of the urethra in 50 adult women. The goal was to find a simple, non-invasive way to estimate the severity of the condition.
