Sacral nerve stimulation for bladder control problems
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how well and how safely a device called InterStim, which uses gentle electrical pulses to help control bladder muscles, works over a long period of time. It aims to see if it helps people with overactive bladder or trouble emptying their bladder.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must have had the InterStim device permanently implanted at the Fundación Santa Fe de Bogotá hospital between January 2010 and June 2026.
- You had the implant because of at least one of these: overactive bladder, sudden strong urges to urinate with leaking, a bladder that doesn't contract properly (not caused by blockage), or trouble emptying your bladder completely.
- You have not had any surgery or procedures on your lower spine (lumbosacral area).
- Your bladder problem is not caused by nerve damage (neurogenic).
- You completed the full implant procedure, not just a temporary test.

This trial tests a personalized nerve stimulation system for women with overactive bladder that hasn't improved with other treatments. It aims to see if the device is safe and works well.
This study tests a new version of a sacral nerve stimulation device (Axonics model 5101) for people with overactive bladder. It aims to see if the device is safe and works well to reduce sudden urges 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 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.
This trial tests if nerve stimulation combined with special exercises can help women with bladder control problems. It is for women over 45 who have had symptoms for at least 3 months.
This trial is for people with overactive bladder who are already scheduled to receive a nerve stimulator implant (sacral neuromodulation). The study will measure how your body's automatic nervous system responds when the device is turned on, which may help doctors understand how the treatment works.
