Do you have Urinary Leakage?
If you experience urine leakage and you are 65 years or older, you may qualify for the study.
We are assessing whether hip exercises can improve pelvic floor muscle strength and urinary leakage.
You will serve as a “control.” At the visit, you will undergo a routine examination (10 minutes) for urinary leakage and answer questionnaires (10-15 minutes).
You will come to clinic for two visits.
$100 ($50 at each visit) compensation will be provided.
For more information, please call 205.934.5498.

Clinical Trials
Join us at the Alabama Vaccine Research Clinic at UAB! We are looking for volunteers to join a Phase 1 clinical trial to test the safety and immune response of a new HIV vaccine. The study is for adults who are HIV-negative, in good health, and aged 18 to 55. Procedures will include blood draws and injections of the study vaccine, as well as the collection of white blood cells through a procedure called leukapheresis. Participants will be compensated for their time in this study. The study vaccine will not give you HIV. If you are interested, please call 205-934-6777 or email avrc@uabmc.edu. You can also fill out our contact form at https://sites.uab.edu/avrc/contact-us/.

Participants Needed. We are recruiting individuals who have experienced a stroke and are able to walk with minimal restriction and also age similar control participants that have NOT experienced a stroke between the ages of 18-89 for a research study on walking. The focus of this study is to understand how to optimize the delivery of a combined strength and aerobic training regimen to individuals with post stroke hemiparesis and reduce overuse and inefficiencies associated with the unaffected leg while walking. If you qualify, your participation in the study will span a single study visit, with a total time commitment of 3 hours. You will be compensated for your time. Please e-mail Christopher Hurt at cphurt@uab.edu or contact him by phone at 205-934-8517 if you are interested.
