Summary

This study tests whether low-energy shock wave therapy, a non-invasive treatment, can improve overactive bladder symptoms in women who also have metabolic syndrome. Sixty women will receive either the real therapy or a sham procedure. Researchers will track symptom changes using questionnaires and bladder diaries over 24 weeks.

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a non-invasive, drug-free option to ease overactive bladder symptoms in women with metabolic syndrome.

This is a small, early-stage trial with only 60 participants. The sham control means some may not improve, and results may not apply to all women.
