Leg nerve stimulation for overactive bladder in older women
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a painless nerve stimulation on your lower leg (like a TENS unit) to see if it helps with overactive bladder and also improves your walking. If you are a woman over 60 with bladder urgency or leaking, you may be eligible.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman over 60 years old.
- You have frequent, sudden urges to urinate or leak urine (score 8 or higher on an overactive bladder survey).
- Your bladder leakage is not only from coughing or sneezing (stress incontinence).
- You do not have a pacemaker or other heart device.
- You have had no neurologic conditions like Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, or spinal cord injury.
- You are not currently taking medication for overactive bladder (or can stop it safely for this study).

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 trial tests a new wearable device that gently stimulates a nerve in your leg to help reduce frequent urination, urgent bathroom trips, and nighttime bathroom visits. The device is worn at home and may help control overactive bladder symptoms.
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.
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 device that stimulates a nerve in your leg to help reduce overactive bladder symptoms, like frequent urination and sudden leaks. It aims to see if this treatment can safely improve bladder control.
This study tests if using a small electrical device on the ankle or another area can improve overactive bladder symptoms by calming the nerves. It may help reduce sudden urges to urinate.
