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.
- Your child must have been diagnosed with overactive bladder (OAB) by a doctor.
- Your child must pee 8 or more times a day (based on a 3-day diary).
- Your child cannot have a pacemaker or implantable defibrillator.
- Your child cannot have other serious bladder problems, nerve damage, or be pregnant.

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 wearable device that sends gentle electrical stimulation to a nerve near your ankle to help reduce overactive bladder symptoms and frequent nighttime urination. The device can be used at home, and the study aims to see if it's a safe and effective treatment option.
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 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 whether a portable electrical stimulation device worn on the ankle can help reduce overactive bladder symptoms like frequent urination and urgency. The device is used at home or at work, and researchers want to see if it works and is safe for everyday use.
