Electroacupuncture to prevent repeat urinary tract infections in women
Part of Infections, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether electroacupuncture (a type of acupuncture using mild electrical pulses) can help prevent repeat urinary tract infections in women. If you often get UTIs, this treatment may offer a non-drug option to reduce future infections.

This trial studies different ways to prevent repeated bladder (urinary tract) infections in women. It may help people who keep getting these infections by testing safer or more effective prevention strategies.
This trial tests two approaches to prevent repeat bladder infections in postmenopausal women: a daily antibiotic pill or a vaginal tablet containing healthy bacteria and estrogen. The goal is to see which method works better over 6 months.
This Phase 2 trial tests LBP-EC01 to treat a bladder infection (UTI) caused by drug-resistant E. coli. It may help by targeting the specific bacteria that make UTIs harder to cure with common antibiotics.
This trial studies whether electroacupuncture can improve symptoms caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), which is non-cancer prostate enlargement. If you have frequent urination or weak urine flow for at least a few months, acupuncture treatment may help relieve those symptoms.
This study tests whether electroacupuncture (a type of acupuncture with mild electrical stimulation) can help women whose overactive bladder symptoms have not responded to usual treatments. If you join, you will receive electroacupuncture sessions and be monitored to see if your symptoms improve.
