Prevention options for recurring bladder infections in women
Part of Infections, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial studies different ways to prevent repeated bladder (urinary tract) infections in women. It may help people who keep getting these infections by testing safer or more effective prevention strategies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re a woman who has had frequent bladder infections in the past year (at least 3 episodes, or 2 in the last 6 months)
- Each infection was confirmed with a urine test (urine culture) showing a germ and you had symptoms
- You have no current bladder infection close to starting (no infection within the last 7 days before randomization)
- You are not on ongoing antibiotics or other prevention medicines (including prevention for other conditions)
- You do not have major bladder/urine flow problems (like significant urine left in the bladder, stones, strictures, catheters/stents, pelvic organ prolapse symptoms)
- You are not pregnant, and you can provide informed consent

This trial tests two approaches to prevent repeat bladder infections in postmenopausal women: a daily antibiotic pill or a vaginal tablet containing healthy bacteria and estrogen. The goal is to see which method works better over 6 months.
This study tests whether electroacupuncture (a type of acupuncture with mild electric pulses) can help prevent repeat urinary tract infections (bladder infections) in women. If you've had several bladder infections, this treatment might reduce how often they come back.
This study looks at the bacteria living in the vagina, urine tract, and stool to learn why some women get repeated urinary tract infections (UTIs). The results may help doctors better prevent or treat UTIs in the future.
This trial tests whether taking vitamin C together with a medicine called Hiprex (methenamine hippurate) helps prevent repeat urinary tract infections (UTIs) in women. If you are eligible, you would take these two treatments and track your urine acidity using emailed results to see how well they work.
This study looks at how bacteria and the immune system affect the lower urinary tract. It includes healthy volunteers and people with various urinary conditions, like infections or bladder pain.
This trial studies a new way to help stop urinary tract infections (UTIs) from coming back by using “bacterial interference” (changing the bacteria in the urinary system). It may help people who have had UTIs keep returning despite past treatments.
