Testing a pelvic nerve device study for bladder and bowel leaks
Part of Digestive system, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older
- Your doctor has already decided you will get a Medtronic InterStim lead implant for the study-allowed reason, or you are already getting it
- You must be able to sign consent and follow all study visits and instructions
- You must be able to accurately fill out symptom diaries and questionnaires
- For this trial, you generally must keep your current bladder/bowel medicine dose and schedule the same during the study evaluation period

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 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 tests a new kind of nerve stimulation device that is inserted into the vagina to help control bladder and bowel problems. It may reduce urgent trips to the bathroom, leaking, and other symptoms of overactive bladder or bowel dysfunction.
This trial is for people with overactive bladder who are already scheduled to receive a nerve stimulator implant (sacral neuromodulation). The study will measure how your body's automatic nervous system responds when the device is turned on, which may help doctors understand how the treatment works.
This study looks at how well and how safely a device called InterStim, which uses gentle electrical pulses to help control bladder muscles, works over a long period of time. It aims to see if it helps people with overactive bladder or trouble emptying their bladder.
