Regaining Bladder Control in Postmenopausal Women With Osteoporosis - Full Text View

Sponsored by:	University of British Columbia
Information provided by:	University of British Columbia
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00323245

Purpose

Conservative management for urinary incontinence has been shown to improve bladder control. We are conducting a study of the effectiveness of conservative management for urinary incontinence in women who also have osteoporosis. We hope to find that treatment for incontinence improves bladder control and thereby allows women to be more active and reduces their risk of falling and breaking bones.
