NCT ID NCT02190851

First seen Jan 10, 2026 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 17 times

Summary

This study tested a non-invasive treatment called TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) for bladder issues in people with Parkinson's disease or multisystem atrophy. The treatment involves a small device that sends gentle electrical pulses to a nerve in the ankle, used daily for 20 minutes. Researchers wanted to see if this approach could improve bladder control and reduce symptoms like urgency or frequent urination. The study enrolled 110 adults who had not responded well to standard medications.
