Magnetic fields or nerve zaps: which stops sudden leaks best?
NCT ID NCT07536139
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two non-invasive treatments—magnetic field therapy and tibial nerve stimulation—for women with urge urinary incontinence (sudden, strong urges to urinate leading to leaks). Forty women will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatments over six weeks. Researchers will measure symptom changes and quality of life to see which approach works better.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Magnetic Field Therapy (PEMF) and Tibial Nerve Stimulation
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide women with two effective, non-invasive options to reduce sudden urine leakage and improve quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Both treatments may not work better than existing options.
