Ankle implant zaps nerve to stop bladder leaks

NCT ID NCT05882318

Summary

This study tested whether a small device called eCoin, implanted near the ankle, could reduce sudden, uncontrollable bladder leaks (urge incontinence). Thirty-eight adults who had not found relief from standard medications received the implant. Researchers compared two different strengths of the device's gentle electrical pulses, which target a nerve connected to the bladder, to see which was better at reducing leaks over three months.
