What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a convenient, non-drug option for managing overactive bladder symptoms at home.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with no control group, so results may not be conclusive. The treatment may not work for everyone, and some may find the stimulation uncomfortable.
