Comparing two types of electrical stimulation for overactive bladder
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two non-invasive treatments for overactive bladder (sudden, frequent urges to pee) in women who haven't gotten relief from standard medications. One treatment uses a vaginal probe, the other uses pads on the perineum (area between the vagina and anus). Both aim to calm the bladder muscles.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman age 18 or older
- You have been diagnosed with overactive bladder (frequent, sudden urges to pee) with no known cause
- You have tried or cannot take standard bladder relaxant medications (like Ditropan or Myrbetriq) and haven't used them for at least 4 weeks
- Your pelvic floor muscles are strong enough (grade 3 or higher on a 0-5 scale)
- You are not pregnant, don't have a vaginal or urinary infection or cancer, and have no history of neurological disease (e.g., multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's)
- You haven't had prior OAB treatments like bladder training or electrical stimulation in the last 6 months, and you don't have a pacemaker or defibrillator

This trial tests a mild, non-invasive nerve stimulation on the inside of your foot to help calm an overactive bladder. It's for women who haven't found relief from bladder-relaxing pills.
This study compares three ways to manage overactive bladder: learning about the condition, using biofeedback, and using nerve stimulation. It aims to see which approach best reduces symptoms like sudden urges and frequent urination.
This trial tests whether electrical stimulation applied to the perineum or the anus can help men who have urine leaks after prostate removal surgery. It aims to find which method works better to regain bladder control.
This study compares two treatments for overactive bladder (OAB): a nerve stimulation therapy (peroneal neuromodulation) versus pelvic floor exercises. It aims to see which is more effective in reducing urgent, frequent urination.
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.
This trial tests a non-surgical device that uses mild electrical stimulation to treat overactive bladder. It may help if you have a sudden, strong need to pee often or wake up at night to pee.
