Comparative Efficacy of Electromagnetic Field Therapy and Tibial Nerve Stimulation in Urge Urinary Incontinence
ClinicalTrials.gov Studies
Summary
NIH registered Clinical Trial NCT07536139 on ClinicalTrials.gov, a prospective, randomized, assessor-blinded clinical trial comparing pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy and posterior tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) for treatment of urge urinary incontinence in women. Eligible participants will be randomized to one of two intervention groups and assessed at baseline and post-treatment using validated instruments including the ICIQ-SF, bladder diaries, and quality-of-life scales. The primary objective is to compare efficacy of the two modalities in reducing urinary symptoms. No compliance obligations or deadlines are imposed by this registration record.
What changed
NIH registered a new clinical trial (NCT07536139) on ClinicalTrials.gov, a prospective randomized assessor-blinded trial evaluating the comparative efficacy of pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy versus posterior tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) in women diagnosed with urge urinary incontinence. The trial will assess symptom severity, frequency of incontinence episodes, and quality-of-life outcomes using validated instruments at baseline and post-treatment. This is an administrative registration record that does not impose any compliance obligations, deadlines, or penalties. Clinical investigators and healthcare providers conducting related research may wish to monitor this registry for updates, as trial results may inform future treatment protocols and regulatory submissions.
Affected parties — primarily clinical investigators and healthcare providers involved in urology, pelvic floor rehabilitation, or female pelvic medicine — should note this trial as a source of emerging evidence on non-invasive treatment alternatives. No immediate regulatory action or compliance response is required from this registration. The trial is registered under NCT07536139 with an anticipated start date reflected in the registry record.

COMPARATIVE EFFICACY OF ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD THERAPY AND TIBIAL NERVE STIMULATION IN URGE URINARY INCONTINENCE
N/A NCT07536139 Kind: NA Apr 17, 2026
Abstract
Urge urinary incontinence is a prevalent condition characterized by involuntary leakage of urine accompanied by a sudden, compelling urge to void. It significantly impairs quality of life and is associated with substantial physical, psychological, and social burden. Noninvasive treatment modalities, including pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy and posterior tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS), have gained attention due to their safety and ease of application.
This study is designed as a prospective, randomized, assessor-blinded clinical trial conducted in women diagnosed with urge urinary incontinence. Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to one of two intervention groups: PEMF therapy or tibial nerve stimulation. Both interventions will be applied over a predefined treatment period under standardized conditions.
Outcome measures will include symptom severity, frequency of incontinence episodes, and quality of life, assessed using validated instruments such as the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form (ICIQ-SF), bladder diaries, and quality-of-life scales. Assessments will be performed at baseline and after completion of the treatment period.
The primary aim of the study is to compare the efficacy of PEMF therapy and tibial nerve stimulation in reducing urinary symptoms. Secondary objectives include evaluating improvements in quality of life and functional outcomes. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to th...
