Electrical Acupoint Stimulation for Bladder Recovery After Cervical Cancer Surgery
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive electrical stimulation on specific acupoints (like acupuncture points) can help you regain bladder control after cervical cancer surgery. If you've had a catheter for a few weeks and haven't been able to pee on your own, this might be an option to help retrain your bladder.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
