Nerve stimulation vs pelvic floor exercises for overactive bladder
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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 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 compares two treatments for kids with overactive bladder: oxybutynin medicine and a painless nerve stimulation device. It aims to find which works better for reducing frequent, urgent, or leaky urination and nighttime accidents.
This trial tests a small, at-home device that sends mild pulses to a nerve in your ankle to calm an overactive bladder. It may help reduce sudden urges and leakage.
This study tests a non-invasive device that stimulates a nerve in the leg to help reduce the sudden urge to urinate and frequent bathroom trips. It may be an option for people who have not found relief with other treatments.
