Brain scans during bladder filling in healthy adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This pilot study uses an MRI brain scan while your bladder fills. It aims to test an MRI method to better understand how the brain responds to bladder filling.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a healthy adult (no major ongoing health conditions).
- You should not have any bladder or urinary tract problems.
- You should not have difficulty starting urination, weak stream, pain with urination, or frequent urgent urination.
- You should not have a history of urinary tract infections that cause ongoing symptoms (as assessed by study staff).

This study uses an MRI scan to look at how the brain controls bladder function after you’ve had a sigmoid “neobladder” surgery. You may be able to take part if you’re well enough for MRI and don’t have certain brain, mental health, or urinary conditions.
This study uses an upright MRI scanner to look at the bladder while people with spinal cord injury use a catheter. It aims to understand bladder function better, which could help improve catheter use.
This study looks at brain activity in children with overactive bladder and daytime wetting compared to healthy children. It uses MRI scans to understand how the brain controls the bladder, which could lead to better treatments.
This study uses brain scans (fMRI) to learn how bladder pain syndrome affects the brain. It compares women with bladder pain to those without, to better understand symptoms and improve future treatments.
This study uses MRI scans to look at the prostate and bladder in people with or without lower urinary tract symptoms (like trouble peeing). The goal is to see if MRI can help doctors better understand these symptoms and guide treatment.
This research study tests new ways to take detailed pictures of your brain using MRI (a safe imaging machine). You'll help researchers develop better imaging methods by lying still in the scanner for up to 2 hours.
