Home nerve stimulation for overactive bladder
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a portable electrical stimulation device worn on the ankle can help reduce overactive bladder symptoms like frequent urination and urgency. The device is used at home or at work, and researchers want to see if it works and is safe for everyday use.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old
- You have been clinically diagnosed with overactive bladder (frequent urge to urinate, sometimes with leakage)
- You work in an office or spend most days at home, so you can wear a portable ankle device regularly
- You are not pregnant and do not have a heart pacemaker
- You do not have epilepsy, a metal implant near your ankle, or an open wound at the electrode site
- You do not have an active urinary tract infection or neurological disease affecting bladder function

This trial tests if a nerve stimulation treatment, usually done in a clinic, can be done at home using a mobile app. It aims to help women with overactive bladder symptoms like sudden urges to urinate.
This trial tests a wearable device that sends gentle electrical stimulation to a nerve near your ankle to help reduce overactive bladder symptoms and frequent nighttime urination. The device can be used at home, and the study aims to see if it's a safe and effective treatment option.
This study tests two types of nerve stimulation, which send gentle electrical signals through the skin, to see if they can help calm an overactive bladder. It may offer a drug-free option for managing symptoms like sudden urges to urinate.
This study tests a non-invasive device that stimulates a nerve in the leg to help reduce the sudden urge to urinate and frequent bathroom trips. It may be an option for people who have not found relief with other treatments.
