Summary

This study tests whether a chair that uses electromagnetic pulses to strengthen pelvic floor muscles can help people with overactive bladder. About 166 adults who have not gotten relief from lifestyle changes or medications will sit in the chair twice a week for four weeks. Half will get the real treatment, half a sham, to see if it truly reduces urinary urgency and frequency.
