Research summary

Douglass S. Hale conducts clinical research in urogynecology, focusing on the diagnosis, surgical treatment, and recovery of women with pelvic floor disorders such as pelvic organ prolapse and overactive bladder. The work includes surgical outcome studies, patient recovery and quality-of-life measures, and evaluation of treatments like sacrocolpopexy and OnabotulinumtoxinA injections. Much of the research uses cohort studies, clinical trials, and patient-education interventions.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
