In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The goal of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of using a regular menstrual tampon or a Uresta pessary to reduce urine leakage associated with running-induced stress urinary incontinence (RI-SUI) in females aged 18 and older. Secondly, the study aims to assess whether either intervention mitigates transient changes in pelvic morphology that occur following a single running bout. Lastly, we aim to evaluate whether participants continue using either intervention during running over the 4-week period following their in-lab participation. The hypotheses are: Hypothesis 1: Among females with RI-SUI, both a tampon and pessary used during a single running bout will reduce urinary leakage symptoms, with greater symptom reduction observed when using the pessary. Hypothesis 2: Participants will report high satisfaction and perceived symptom improvement with both the tampon and pessary,
