New device aims to quiet overactive bladder in men
NCT ID NCT06511141
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 15, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This study tests a device called the Axonics SNM System, which uses mild electrical pulses to calm the nerves that control the bladder. It is for men with overactive bladder, including those with urgency incontinence or frequent urination. The trial will enroll 150 men and track how well the device reduces symptoms and improves quality of life over one year.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Axonics SNM System (a nerve-stimulating device implanted near the sacrum)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer men with overactive bladder a long-term option to reduce sudden urges and frequent urination, improving daily comfort.
- What could go wrong
- This is a post-market study, not a randomized controlled trial, so results may be less definitive. The device requires surgery and carries risks like infection or device malfunction.
