What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (device)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a non-drug option to reduce urgent, frequent urination and improve daily comfort for women with MS.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study (42 participants) without a placebo group, so results may not apply broadly. Nerve stimulation may not work for everyone and can cause mild skin irritation.
