Sacral nerve stimulation for double incontinence
Part of Kidney & urinary, Mental health, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a device that sends mild electrical pulses to a nerve in your lower back to help control both bowel and bladder leakage. It is for women who have had severe fecal and urinary incontinence for at least six months and have not improved with other treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman age 18 or older
- You have had both bowel and bladder leakage for more than 6 months
- You have at least 2 bowel leakage episodes per week and at least 1 urine leak per day
- You cannot hold in gas, loose stool, or hard stool (severe fecal incontinence)

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 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 trial tests a new implant that stimulates a nerve in your pelvic area to help control both stress and urge urine leaks. It might be an option if you've tried other treatments like bladder training or medicine and they didn't help enough or caused side effects.
This trial tests if sacral nerve modulation can improve bladder and bowel control in people with spinal cord injury. Patients receive a temporary stimulator first, and if it helps, they may get a permanent implant.
This trial tests how sacral neuromodulation affects the external anal sphincter in people with fecal incontinence after rectal cancer treatment. It aims to understand if this nerve stimulation can improve muscle function and reduce leakage.
This trial studies whether sacral neuromodulation (a device that sends mild nerve signals) can improve bladder, bowel, and sexual symptoms caused by nerve problems. It is for people whose current bladder treatments have not worked well enough.
