Could a smart vaginal wand ease bladder pain without drugs?
NCT ID NCT07038512
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 28, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new at-home device called the Floora Pelvic Rehabilitation Vaginal Dilator in 10 women with interstitial cystitis (painful bladder syndrome) and high-tone pelvic floor dysfunction. Participants use the device three times a week for 12 weeks, combining heat and gentle dilation. The goal is to see if it safely reduces pelvic pain and improves symptoms.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Floora Pelvic Rehabilitation Vaginal Dilator (device)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a safe, at-home option for women to manage chronic pelvic pain without medication or clinic visits.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small early trial with only 10 participants, no comparison group, and no blinding, so results may not apply widely. The device is new and its long-term benefits or risks are unknown.
