Scientists map hidden blood vessels to solve leakage mystery
NCT ID NCT07185698
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how blood flow to the urethra relates to bladder control. Researchers will use special ultrasound imaging in 70 women—35 with stress urinary incontinence and 35 without—to compare blood supply and pressure measurements. The goal is to better understand what causes incontinence and improve future diagnosis and treatment.
