Summary

This study tests whether stimulating a nerve near the ankle, called percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS), can safely treat overactive bladder in children aged 5 to 21. The treatment uses a device called Urgent PC that sends weak electrical signals through a thin needle to the nerve. Researchers will monitor side effects and track changes in bladder function using diaries and surveys.

What this could mean

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

Active substance: percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) via Urgent PC device
What this could lead to: If it works, this could offer a non-drug, non-surgical option to help children with overactive bladder gain better bladder control.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-phase study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to all children. Risks include bruising, infection, or no improvement in symptoms.
