Overview

A virtual trial of 363 women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) or stress-predominant mixed urinary incontinence (MUI) found that pelvic floor muscle training guided by a motion-based digital therapeutic device yielded significantly greater urinary incontinence symptom improvement compared to a standard home program at 6 and 12 months. This technology may facilitate access and adherence to pelvic floor muscle training.
