Clinical Trial Summary

Stress urinary incontinence, or involuntary urine leakage during activities like coughing, laughing, or exercise, is a common condition that impacts quality of life for many women. Pelvic floor muscle training is often used to treat stress incontinence, but additional therapies may enhance outcomes. This randomized controlled trial will compare two physical therapy modalities, pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy versus laser acupuncture, along with pelvic floor training for improving stress urinary incontinence in 60 adult women. The study will evaluate their effects on pelvic floor muscle strength, severity of urine leakage, and quality of life. We hypothesize that PEMF and laser acupuncture will both improve stress incontinence, but PEMF will be more effective based on greater pelvic floor stimulation. The study aims to provide evidence on these physical therapy options so that optimized treatment plans can be developed for women with stress urinary incontinence.
