Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Overactive Bladder

Phase < 1

Waitlist Available

Research Sponsored by University of Southern California

Eligibility Criteria Checklist

Must have

Be older than 18 years old

Timeline

Screening 3 weeks

Treatment Varies

Follow Up feasibility will be assessed after completion of the study, up to 6 months.

Awards & highlights

No Placebo-Only Group

Summary

This trial tests if rTMS, a procedure using magnetic fields to stimulate brain cells, can help women with overactive bladder and urgency urinary incontinence. By targeting brain areas that control bladder muscles, rTMS may improve bladder control and reduce urgent urination.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups

Experimental Treatment

Group I: Low Frequency rTMS ProtocolExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Low frequency 1 Hz at 80% motor threshold intensity with figure-of-eight coil for a total of 2,000 pulses. Pulses will be delivered continuously.

Group II: High Frequency rTMS ProtocolExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

High frequency with 10 Hz at 80% motor threshold intensity with figure-of-eight coil for a total of 2,000 pulses. Pulses will be delivered in 10-second trains with a 50-second pause between the trains.
