First seen Apr 02, 2026 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 4 times

Summary

This study tests whether electroacupuncture (a type of acupuncture with mild electric pulses) can prevent recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) in women. About 312 women aged 18-75 who have had repeat UTIs but no current infection will receive either real or sham electroacupuncture over 6 months. Researchers will track how many women stay infection-free and note any side effects.
