Nerve stimulation for overactive bladder symptoms
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
