Outcomes of Limited Postoperative Restrictions Following Sling Placement: A Randomized Controlled Trial
NCT06840093 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The purpose of this research study is to better understand optimal restrictions for patients postoperatively following a mesh urethral sling placement for patients with stress urinary incontinence. Patients undergoing a midurethral sling procedure will be assigned to one of two groups. One group with be given standard postprocedural restrictions including instructions to avoid moderate activity and no lifting over 15lbs for six weeks after surgery. The other group will have fewer restrictions, with no restrictions on activity or lifting. Participants will complete surveys at 2 weeks, 3 months and 1 year following their procedure to help providers better understand how patients are following postoperative restrictions and if there were any differences in the outcome of the procedure between the two groups.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06840093
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06840093 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 84 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Iowa, which has 156 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 4 conditions, with Stress Urinary Incontinence appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Limited Restrictions is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT06840093 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Iowa. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
