Leg nerve stimulation for comfort during bladder Botox treatment
Part of Kidney & urinary, Mental health, Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation on the skin (TENS) applied to the lower leg can reduce pain and anxiety during the Botox injection procedure for overactive bladder. If you are already getting this injection, TENS might make the experience more comfortable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with overactive bladder and are scheduled for a Botox injection into the bladder.
- You have never used TENS (a small electrical stimulation device) before.
- You do not have a pacemaker, an implanted nerve-stimulation device, or nerve damage in your lower legs.
- You are not pregnant and do not have an active urinary tract infection or a bleeding disorder.

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.
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 treatment using mild electrical pulses on the skin to help improve bladder control in women who have had a stroke and now experience overactive bladder symptoms. It may help reduce sudden urges to urinate.
This study looks at the bacteria in the bladders of women with overactive bladder who are getting Botox injections. It aims to understand how these bacteria might affect treatment results.
This study compares two ways to numb the bladder before a Botox injection for overactive bladder: local anesthesia (numbing medicine in the bladder) versus sedoanalgesia (medication to relax and reduce pain). The goal is to see which method works better and makes patients more comfortable.
This trial tests a nerve stimulation treatment (TTNS) to improve bladder symptoms like urgency or frequent urination in people with multiple sclerosis. It is a randomized controlled study comparing this approach to a control, and aims to see if it can reduce bothersome bladder issues.
