Brain stimulation for bladder control after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation method to reduce urgent, frequent urination after a stroke. It may help improve bladder control and quality of life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial studies if using two types of brain stimulation (safe electrical and magnetic pulses) can help improve thinking and movement after a stroke. If you are still having memory or concentration issues, this might help you recover more function.
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 tests whether a mild electrical brain stimulation can help people with chronic stroke improve their stepping and walking. If you have had a stroke at least 6 months ago, can walk with or without a device, and have some leg weakness, this study may be for you.
This study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment can improve thinking and memory problems after an acute ischemic stroke. It also uses brain scans to better understand how the treatment may help.
This study tests a personalized, non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to help improve movement in people who have had a stroke that affects one side of the body. It aims to see if this gentle electrical stimulation can boost recovery of arm and hand function.
This study tests whether a type of brain stimulation can improve bladder control in women with multiple sclerosis. If you have bladder symptoms like urgency or frequent urination, this trial may help find new ways to manage them.
