Summary:
New research has shown that an injection of a patient's own muscle stem cells can help restore control of a leaky bladder. Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine said stress incontinence symptoms improved in five out of seven women who got the experimental treatment. The patients experienced no serious side effects. This is the first time a study of this kind has been conducted in North America.
Commentary: This research appears promising in effectively and safely treating urinary incontince and avoiding harmful side effects.
