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.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests if combining magnetic brain stimulation with nerve stimulation can improve bladder control in people with multiple sclerosis. It may help reduce urgency and leakage.
This trial tests if a special therapy (high tone power therapy) can help people with multiple sclerosis who have bladder control problems. It compares the treatment to standard care to see if it improves symptoms.
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 trial tests whether spinal stabilization exercises can improve bladder control and pelvic floor function in women with multiple sclerosis. If you have mild to moderate MS and bladder issues like urgency or leaking, this study may help you.
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.
