NCT ID NCT06198439

First seen Apr 08, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 5 times

Summary

This study tested a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS in 14 adults with overactive bladder. The goal was to see if it could change brain activity and improve bladder symptoms like urgency and frequent urination. Researchers used brain scans to measure changes, but this was an early-stage study to understand how the treatment works, not to prove it is a cure.
