Nerve stimulation vs. tibial nerve stimulation for overactive bladder
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two types of non-invasive nerve stimulation (NESA and PTNS) to treat overactive bladder symptoms. It's for people whose medications haven't worked well.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 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 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 a new nerve-stimulation device that sits under the skin to help control overactive bladder. It may reduce frequent urination and sudden urges.
This study compares two non-drug treatments for overactive bladder: a nerve stimulation therapy (peroneal neuromodulation) and pelvic floor muscle exercises. It aims to see which is more effective in reducing urgency and frequent urination.
