Could a pacemaker for the pelvis end double incontinence?
NCT ID NCT07212387
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a device that sends mild electrical pulses to the sacral nerve can help people who have both fecal and urinary incontinence at the same time. The device is already approved for each condition separately. Thirty adult women will try the treatment and report how well it works using symptom diaries and questionnaires. The goal is to reduce leakage episodes and improve daily life.
