Foot nerve stimulation for overactive bladder in women
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to treat overactive bladder in women using mild electrical stimulation on the inner foot. It might help if standard medicines haven't worked for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have been diagnosed with overactive bladder (feeling a sudden urge to urinate, often with frequent trips to the bathroom).

This study compares two non-invasive treatments for overactive bladder (sudden, frequent urges to pee) in women who haven't gotten relief from standard medications. One treatment uses a vaginal probe, the other uses pads on the perineum (area between the vagina and anus). Both aim to calm the bladder muscles.
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 a non-invasive treatment using mild electrical pulses on the skin to help improve bladder control in women who have had a stroke and now experience overactive bladder symptoms. It may help reduce 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 tests two types of nerve stimulation, which send gentle electrical signals through the skin, to see if they can help calm an overactive bladder. It may offer a drug-free option for managing symptoms like sudden urges to urinate.
This trial tests a new nerve-stimulation device that sits under the skin to help control overactive bladder. It may reduce frequent urination and sudden urges.
