Shocking the bladder: which nerve zap works best?

NCT ID NCT05309993

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 24 times

Summary

This study tested two nerve stimulation methods—TENS (using skin patches) and PTNS (using a tiny needle)—to see if they improve quality of life in women with overactive bladder who didn't get help from other treatments. 27 women participated, and the goal was to measure changes in bladder symptoms and daily comfort after 12 weeks. The study was stopped early, so results are limited.
