Can women remove their own bladder nerve test lead at home?
NCT ID NCT05799313
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study looks at whether women with overactive bladder can remove a temporary nerve testing lead at home instead of coming back to the doctor's office. The lead is placed during a short procedure to see if a permanent nerve stimulator might help. Researchers want to know if women are just as satisfied removing it themselves at home. The trial will enroll 30 women and ask them to rate their satisfaction and comfort.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- percutaneous nerve evaluation (PNE) lead removal procedure
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that removing the PNE lead at home is just as satisfactory as having it removed in the office, offering women more convenience.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, early-stage trial with only 30 women, so results may not apply to everyone. The study focuses on satisfaction, not on whether the treatment itself works for overactive bladder.
