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 trial tests a device that might help men with spinal cord injuries control their bladders. The device works by using the body's own reflexes to empty the bladder, which could reduce the need for catheters.
This trial compares two ways of doing a nerve test to see if a small device can help you control your bladder better. The device is implanted near your lower spine and sends mild pulses to help your bladder hold more urine and empty better.
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 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.
