Could a wearable device at home tame overactive bladder?
NCT ID NCT07540273
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 18, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a small, portable nerve stimulation device worn at home can reduce urgent bathroom trips in people with overactive bladder. Sixty adults aged 18 to 65 will either use the device during daily life when they feel urgency or receive standard clinic-based sessions. The goal is to see if the home approach works as well and improves quality of life.
