Summary

This trial tests whether gentle electrical stimulation of a nerve in the ankle, called posterior tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS), can reduce the sudden, urgent need to urinate that often follows a stroke. The study will include women aged 40 to 70 who have had a stroke at least six months ago and now experience overactive bladder symptoms. Participants will receive either PTNS or a sham treatment, and researchers will track changes in urgency and frequency over 12 weeks to see if the therapy helps.

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 stimulation of the posterior tibial nerve (PTNS)
What this could lead to
If effective, this could offer a drug-free way to reduce urgent, frequent urination in people recovering from stroke, improving comfort and quality of life.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial, so results may not apply broadly. The treatment may not outperform sham stimulation, and individual responses can vary.
