Sacral nerve stimulation for double incontinence
Part of Kidney & urinary, Mental health, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a treatment called sacral neuromodulation, which uses a small device to send mild electrical pulses to nerves in the lower back, helping control both bowel and bladder leaks. It is for women who have had both fecal and urinary incontinence for more than 6 months and have not improved with other treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 compares two types of pelvic floor muscle stimulation devices to see which better reduces urinary incontinence symptoms in women. If you leak urine, you may benefit from this non-drug treatment option.
This study looks at how well and how safely a device called InterStim, which uses gentle electrical pulses to help control bladder muscles, works over a long period of time. It aims to see if it helps people with overactive bladder or trouble emptying their bladder.
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 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 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.
