Test to use less X-ray during sacral nerve lead placement
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial studies whether doctors can place a sacral neuromodulation lead using fewer X-rays. If you’re getting this procedure for overactive bladder, it may help reduce radiation exposure while still guiding correct lead placement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for lead implantation for sacral neuromodulation
- Your bladder symptoms include overactive bladder (urgency, frequent urination, and/or waking at night to urinate)
- You do not have a neurogenic bladder (bladder problems caused by nerve damage from conditions like spinal cord injury)
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 40 or less
- You do not have peripheral neuropathy (nerve problems in the arms/legs causing numbness or tingling)

This study checks how well an implanted pelvic nerve system works for people with bladder overactivity, non-obstructive urinary retention, or fecal incontinence. You may need to keep your current medications steady and track symptoms closely with diaries before and during evaluation.
This study tests how well a short, in-office nerve evaluation (PNE) predicts the success of sacral neuromodulation—a treatment that uses mild electrical pulses to calm bladder nerves. It is for women with urgency leaking or very frequent urination.
This trial tests a new procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to calm the nerve responsible for overactive bladder in women. It aims to reduce urge-related urine leaks without surgery or medications.
This trial tests how the body's nerve signals respond during a treatment for overactive bladder (OAB) that uses a device to stimulate a nerve near the tailbone. The goal is to understand how these nerve responses might predict treatment success.
This study tests a nerve stimulation device placed near the tailbone to help men with overactive bladder symptoms. If you have bothersome urinary urgency or frequency, this treatment may offer relief without drugs.
This study checks how well a device that uses mild electrical pulses to manage bladder urgency works over time. If you completed an earlier study for this device, you may be able to join and help doctors learn more about its long-term benefits.
