Nerve stimulation for overactive bladder in women
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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 study tests if using a small electrical device on the ankle or another area can improve overactive bladder symptoms by calming the nerves. It may help reduce sudden urges to urinate.
This study tests a non-invasive treatment called transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS) for people with overactive bladder caused by a spinal cord injury. The treatment involves applying mild electrical pulses to the ankle to help improve bladder control. If you qualify, you will receive the treatment and be monitored for safety and effectiveness.
This trial tests a small, at-home device that sends mild pulses to a nerve in your ankle to calm an overactive bladder. It may help reduce sudden urges and leakage.
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.
