Nerve stimulation therapy for overactive bladder in children and teens
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to treat overactive bladder in children and teens using a tiny needle that sends mild electrical pulses to a nerve near the ankle. It aims to reduce urgent bathroom trips and daytime leakage without surgery.
