Nerve stimulation for bladder symptoms in multiple sclerosis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests if a nerve stimulation treatment, usually done in a clinic, can be done at home using a mobile app. It aims to help women with overactive bladder symptoms like sudden urges to urinate.
This study tests if a mild electrical stimulation on the skin near your ankle (called TTNS) can help calm an overactive bladder. It is for women who haven't had success with or can't take standard overactive bladder medicines.
This study compares two types of non-invasive nerve stimulation (NESA and PTNS) to treat overactive bladder symptoms. It's for people whose medications haven't worked well.
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 trial tests a new device that uses gentle nerve stimulation to help control overactive bladder. It may reduce sudden urges and frequent trips to the bathroom.
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.
