Assessing tissue elasticity in women with urinary incontinence

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study uses strain elastography (SE) to evaluate the elasticity and biomechanical properties of suburethral tissue in women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) compared to continent controls. Participants will undergo two-dimensional ultrasound and SE in three specific regions of interest around the urethra. The goal is to identify differences in tissue stiffness that could aid in diagnosing SUI. This non-invasive imaging technique aims to enhance urogynecological evaluations.
