Summary

This study tests a non-invasive treatment called transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation for women with overactive bladder who cannot or will not take medication. Thirty women will receive either real or sham stimulation twice a week for six weeks. Researchers will measure changes in bladder symptoms, urine flow, pelvic floor muscle activity, and quality of life.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation
What this could lead to: If it works, this could offer a drug-free option to reduce urgent urination and improve quality of life for women with overactive bladder.
What could go wrong: This is a very small, early study with only 30 women. It compares the real treatment to a sham, so results may show no benefit. The treatment is not a cure and only aims to ease symptoms.
