Nerve zaps for bladder troubles: patients share their stories
NCT ID NCT04248322
First seen Feb 01, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 19 times
Summary
This study uses interviews and focus groups to learn how transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS) affects the daily lives of people with neurogenic bladder due to spinal cord injury. Researchers will talk to 75 participants who have used TTNS for a year to understand how it impacts bladder function, catheter use, and overall quality of life. The goal is to identify themes that matter most to patients, not to measure medical outcomes.
