Exploring Clinical Utility of Wearables for the Bladder in Pelvic Health Physical Therapy Clinics
NCT07451106 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Pelvic health physical therapy (PHPT) is an evidence-based intervention for bladder dysfunction (BD) and pelvic floor disorders (PFD) in men postprostatectomy, and postpartum women. However, there is a dearth of objective outcome measures - in particular, those that can capture changes remotely, between clinic visits. In other domains, such as physical activity, wearable digital devices have started to fill this gap. The investigators aim to evaluate if commercially available wearables for the bladder (WeB) can provide valid, objective outcomes to evaluate, monitor and treat people with BD and PFD. The WeB toolkit, comprising a wearable bladder ultrasound device and an intravaginal exerciser (women only), eventually aims to provide real-world, actionable data to both users and healthcare providers, thereby improving patient outcomes through closed-loop interventions. Preliminary studies in women with multiple sclerosis have shown strong associations with gold-standard clinical measures, suggesting that WeB tools could revolutionize care for these patients. However, the effectiveness of these tools in a wider range of patient demographics, especially postpartum women, and men, has yet to be established. The investigators seeks to extend the promising pilot findings to these additional 'special' populations seen in the PHPT clinic. The investigators hypothesize that the WeB tools will retain their accuracy and utility across these diverse groups. The investigators plan to i) validate WeB in these special populations against gold-standard clinical measures for BD, ii) evaluate the responsiveness of WeB tools to changes in outcomes before and after PHPT and iii) assess user experience in these populations. By ensuring the WeB tools' broad applicability, this research seeks to close the gap in continuous care and enable objective, personalized treatment strategies. The outcomes will have significant implications for the management of BD and PFD, potentially offering a mo

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT07451106
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT07451106 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as an unspecified phase, 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 25 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of California, San Francis, which has 1,574 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 3 conditions, with Bladder Dysfunction appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 3 interventions — of which DFree Non-Invasive Bladder Ultrasound 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: NCT07451106 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include California. 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.
