What this research studies
This grant supports a research team in San Diego, called the San Diego Pelvic Floor Consortium, to continue its important work within a national network focused on pelvic floor disorders. The team uses a unique approach, combining the expertise of a major university hospital with a large community health organization, to bring new treatment options to patients. They have a strong history of successfully designing and running large clinical trials that test new behavioral and surgical treatments. This allows them to offer diverse patient populations the chance to participate in cutting-edge research.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Patients who have pelvic floor disorders, particularly women experiencing stress urinary incontinence, may be ideal candidates for future clinical trials conducted by this consortium.
Not a fit: Patients who do not have pelvic floor disorders or who are not eligible for specific clinical trials offered through this network would not directly benefit from participation.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this work could lead to improved and more effective treatments for various pelvic floor disorders, including stress urinary incontinence.
How similar studies have performed: The San Diego team has a proven track record of successfully developing and implementing large-scale clinical trials for pelvic floor disorders within this national network.
