Study on nerve responses during bladder device treatment
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests how the body's nerve signals respond during a treatment for overactive bladder (OAB) that uses a device to stimulate a nerve near the tailbone. The goal is to understand how these nerve responses might predict treatment success.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are already scheduled to get a sacral neuromodulation implant for overactive bladder (OAB) as part of your regular care.
- You are 18 years or older and can give your own consent.
- You can speak, read, and understand English, as all questionnaires are only available in English.
- You do not have a bladder that does not contract properly (areflexive or atonic bladder).
- You are not pregnant or planning to become pregnant. If you could become pregnant, you will be tested before joining.
- You do not have a nerve-related bladder condition, sacral nerve damage, or other issues affecting the nerves that control urination.

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 checks how well an implanted pelvic nerve system works for people with bladder overactivity, non-obstructive urinary retention, or fecal incontinence. You may need to keep your current medications steady and track symptoms closely with diaries before and during evaluation.
This study tests how well a short, in-office nerve evaluation (PNE) predicts the success of sacral neuromodulation—a treatment that uses mild electrical pulses to calm bladder nerves. It is for women with urgency leaking or very frequent urination.
This study tests whether a “triggered” nerve stimulation therapy can help people with nerve-related bladder problems hold urine better and empty their bladder more comfortably. It mainly looks at whether the approach is safe and workable for patients.
This trial is for people with overactive bladder who are already scheduled to receive a nerve stimulator implant (sacral neuromodulation). The study will measure how your body's automatic nervous system responds when the device is turned on, which may help doctors understand how the treatment works.
This trial tests a personalized nerve stimulation system for women with overactive bladder that hasn't improved with other treatments. It aims to see if the device is safe and works well.
