What this research studies
This grant helps Duke University Medical Center serve as a key location within a national network dedicated to improving care for pelvic floor disorders. Our experienced team of specialists and researchers at Duke focuses on conditions like urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, and pelvic organ prolapse. We offer comprehensive care, including both surgical and non-surgical treatments, and actively recruit patients to participate in groundbreaking clinical trials. By joining this network, Duke continues its tradition of excellence in patient care and research, aiming to find better ways to manage these common conditions.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates are individuals experiencing pelvic floor disorders such as urinary urgency, urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, or pelvic organ prolapse.
Not a fit: Patients without pelvic floor disorders or those seeking general medical care unrelated to these specific conditions would not directly benefit from this particular research opportunity.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this work could lead to new and improved treatments for urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, and pelvic organ prolapse, enhancing the quality of life for many patients.
How similar studies have performed: The Pelvic Floor Disorders Network has a strong track record of conducting successful clinical trials that have already influenced clinical practice.
