New hope for women suffering from recurrent UTIs: daily antibiotic vs. bladder procedure
NCT ID NCT06907199
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at two ways to manage recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) in women. One group takes a daily antibiotic called nitrofurantoin. The other group has a minor procedure to burn away tiny spots in the bladder (electrofulguration) and also takes the daily antibiotic. The goal is to see which approach works better to prevent future UTIs over two years. The study involves 104 women aged 18 to 85 who have had at least three UTIs in the past year.
