Brain stimulation for bladder control in MS
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a type of brain stimulation can improve bladder control in women with multiple sclerosis. If you have bladder symptoms like urgency or frequent urination, this trial may help find new ways to manage them.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman aged 18 or older.
- You have multiple sclerosis that is stable (no flare-ups in the last 6 months).
- You have had bladder problems (like urgency or leaking) for at least 3 months.
- Your bladder symptoms are moderate to severe (score of 15 or higher on a bladder symptom questionnaire).
- You do not have a pacemaker, spinal stimulator, or certain other implanted devices.
- You are not pregnant or planning to become pregnant, and do not have a history of seizures or bipolar disorder.

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 checks how your bladder “sensation” works using bladder testing (including urodynamic testing) to better understand MS-related bladder problems. It may help researchers match bladder symptoms to what’s happening inside the bladder.
This study tests a type of physical therapy, called High Tone Power Therapy, to see if it helps reduce bladder symptoms in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). You'll be expected to attend sessions where this therapy is applied, and your bladder function will be monitored.
This trial studies whether sacral neuromodulation (a device that sends mild nerve signals) can improve bladder, bowel, and sexual symptoms caused by nerve problems. It is for people whose current bladder treatments have not worked well enough.
This study tests a noninvasive nerve stimulation applied to the lower leg to improve bladder emptying problems in people with multiple sclerosis. It may help reduce bladder dysfunction while you keep using clean intermittent self-catheterization.
This study looks at how well the pelvic floor muscles work in people with MS who have bladder control problems. It may help find better ways to manage urinary incontinence.
