Comparing nerve stimulation and pelvic floor exercises for overactive bladder
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two treatments for overactive bladder (OAB): a nerve stimulation therapy (peroneal neuromodulation) versus pelvic floor exercises. It aims to see which is more effective in reducing urgent, frequent urination.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
