Testing a nerve stimulation trigger for bladder control
Part of Brain & nervous system, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a “triggered” nerve stimulation therapy can help people with nerve-related bladder problems hold urine better and empty their bladder more comfortably. It mainly looks at whether the approach is safe and workable for patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a nerve-related bladder problem (from a brain/spine or nerve injury) that affects urine storage or stopping
- You’re an adult (over 18) and can speak and understand English to consent
- If your bladder issue is from spinal cord injury, it has been more than 6 months since the injury
- You can lie on your stomach (prone) for at least 1 hour
- Your bladder can hold more than 100 mL (checked with bladder pressure testing called urodynamics)
- You do not have a higher risk of kidney/upper urinary tract worsening

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 compares how well sacral nerve stimulation works on each side of the body for people with neurogenic bladder (bladder problems from nerve damage). The goal is to see if testing one side first can predict success for the other side.
This trial tests a nerve stimulation treatment (TTNS) to improve bladder symptoms like urgency or frequent urination in people with multiple sclerosis. It is a randomized controlled study comparing this approach to a control, and aims to see if it can reduce bothersome bladder issues.
This study tests if stimulating nerves in the lower back or ankle can help improve bladder function in people who have a recent spinal cord injury above the T11 vertebra (mid-back). It aims to find a new way to manage bladder problems without medication.
This trial tests a nerve-stimulation approach to improve bladder control in people with spinal cord injury. It specifically targets bladder problems that require clean intermittent catheter use and includes regular testing over 6 months.
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.
