Magnetic chair may ease bladder leaks without drugs
NCT ID NCT05735522
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a magnetic stimulation chair can help women with sudden, strong urges to urinate that lead to leaks. 70 women received either real or sham magnetic stimulation while sitting fully clothed. Researchers measured changes in bladder diary entries, questionnaires, and urodynamic tests to see if the treatment reduces symptoms and improves daily life.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Extracorporeal magnetic stimulation device
- What this could lead to
- If effective, magnetic stimulation could offer a non-invasive, drug-free option to reduce urgency urinary incontinence episodes and improve quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center study with 70 participants. The sham control may show similar effects, and results may not apply to all women with incontinence.
