Effect of Behavioral Sleep Intervention on Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms in Older Women (NCT05604222)

๐Ÿ”ต Active, Not Recruiting Phase4 ๐Ÿ’Š Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: Shachi Tyagi

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

Urgency urinary incontinence (UUI) is common in older people and vastly reduces quality of life, yet the cause and mechanism of disease are not well understood. This study will investigate the role of adding behavioral sleep intervention to the standard pharmacotherapy in treatment of UUI among older adults, and the brain mechanisms involved in continence by evaluating brain changes. This will expand the current knowledge of how the sleep affects bladder control, and better characterize the brain mechanisms in maintaining continence.
