Comparing treatments for overactive bladder
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares three ways to help people with overactive bladder: learning about the condition, using biofeedback to train your pelvic muscles, and using nerve stimulation. It aims to find which approach works best to reduce urgent, frequent urination.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.
This trial looks at a treatment for overactive bladder in adult men. If you qualify, you may be asked to follow study instructions and report symptom changes during treatment.
This study compares two non-drug treatments for overactive bladder: a nerve stimulation therapy (peroneal neuromodulation) and pelvic floor muscle exercises. It aims to see which is more effective in reducing urgency and frequent urination.
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.
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 trial tests a new nerve-stimulation device that sits under the skin to help control overactive bladder. It may reduce frequent urination and sudden urges.
