Nerve stimulation therapy for overactive bladder in children
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a non-invasive treatment called transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS) for children with overactive bladder (OAB). The goal is to see if it can help reduce frequent, urgent urination by using mild electrical pulses near the ankle.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 6 and 18 years old.

This trial tests a small, at-home device that sends mild pulses to a nerve in your ankle to calm an overactive bladder. It may help reduce sudden urges and leakage.
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 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 compares two treatments for kids with overactive bladder: oxybutynin medicine and a painless nerve stimulation device. It aims to find which works better for reducing frequent, urgent, or leaky urination and nighttime accidents.
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.
