NCT ID NCT06198439
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether a non-invasive magnetic brain stimulation technique (rTMS) can help adults with overactive bladder. Researchers measured changes in brain activity and bladder symptoms in 14 participants. The goal was to see if targeting specific brain regions could improve bladder control and reduce urgency.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) device
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a non-invasive, drug-free way to ease overactive bladder symptoms by retraining brain regions.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early study with only 14 people and no comparison group. Results may not apply to everyone, and the effect on bladder symptoms is still uncertain.
