Nerve stimulation for overactive bladder after prostate surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests a nerve stimulation treatment for overactive bladder in men who still have symptoms after surgery for an enlarged prostate. It aims to help reduce the frequent, sudden urge to pee.

This study tests a patch that stimulates a nerve in your leg to help control frequent urination after prostate surgery. It might be an option if you still have bladder symptoms one month after your procedure.
This study tests a treatment called tibial nerve stimulation, which uses a small needle near the ankle to send gentle pulses to nerves that help control the bladder. It may help reduce urine leakage after prostate removal surgery.
This study tests if a gentle electrical pulse to a nerve in your ankle can help reduce urgent, frequent, and nighttime urination after prostate surgery for an enlarged prostate. It may offer a non-drug way to speed recovery.
This study tests a nerve stimulation device placed near the tailbone to help men with overactive bladder symptoms. If you have bothersome urinary urgency or frequency, this treatment may offer relief without drugs.
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 a non-invasive treatment called transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS) for people with overactive bladder caused by a spinal cord injury. The treatment involves applying mild electrical pulses to the ankle to help improve bladder control. If you qualify, you will receive the treatment and be monitored for safety and effectiveness.
