Can nerve stimulation beat education for overactive bladder?
NCT ID NCT07744620
First seen Aug 04, 2026 · Last updated Aug 05, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests three 8-week approaches for women with overactive bladder: standard education on pelvic floor exercises, biofeedback-assisted training, and biofeedback combined with tibial nerve stimulation. The goal is to see if adding biofeedback or nerve stimulation provides better relief from symptoms like urgency and frequent urination. Participants are randomly assigned to one of the three groups and track their exercises at home. The study also looks at whether women with different symptom patterns respond differently to each treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Behavioral therapy and neuromodulation: verbal education, biofeedback-assisted pelvic floor muscle training, and tibial nerve stimulation
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could identify the most effective non-drug treatment for overactive bladder, potentially reducing symptoms like urgency and frequent urination without medication.
- What could go wrong
- The trial is relatively small and early, and results may not apply to all women with overactive bladder. Some participants may not respond to the treatments, and the added benefit of biofeedback or nerve stimulation over education alone is uncertain.
