Study arms

  • Experimental
    Combination Therapy

    Approximately 30 participants are expected to be enrolled, and they will receive a combination of standard medication and TTNS therapy for 12 weeks.

    Combination Product: Combination Therapy

  • Experimental
    TTNS

    Approximately 30 participants are expected to be enrolled, and they will receive TTNS therapy for 12 weeks.

    Device: Transcutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation(TTNS)

  • Active comparator
    Standard Medication Therapy

    Approximately 30 participants are expected to be enrolled, and they will receive standard medication and TTNS therapy for 12 weeks.

    Drug: Standard Medication Therapy

Interventions

  • DeviceTranscutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation(TTNS)

    Participants in this group will discontinue all relevant medications (e.g., β3-adrenergic agonists, non-selective β-adrenergic agonists, or anticholinergic drugs) at least 14 days before signing the informed consent and will not use these medications during the study period. They will receive treatment solely with wearable transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation.

  • Combination productCombination Therapy

    Participants in this group will continue their prescribed medication regimen, which may include β3-adrenergic agonists, non-selective β-adrenergic agonists, or anticholinergic drugs, with dosages and administration unchanged throughout the study. In addition to the standard medication therapy, participants will receive wearable transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation using a wearable device

  • DrugStandard Medication Therapy

    Participants in this group will maintain their usual medication regimen, which may include β3-adrenergic agonists, non-selective β-adrenergic agonists, or anticholinergic drugs, with dosages and administration remaining consistent throughout the study. No additional interventions will be provided.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Average Daily Urination Frequency Compared to Baseline

    At the end of Weeks 4, 8, and 12, the change in average daily urination frequency compared to baseline will be calculated using the participants' 72-hour voiding diaries

    Time frame: treatment during 12 weeks : assessments at weeks 4, 8, and 12.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Average Urinary Urgency Score

    At the end of Weeks 4, 8, and 12, the average urinary urgency score will be calculated using the participants' 72-hour voiding diaries

    Time frame: treatment during 12 weeks : assessments at weeks 4, 8, and 12.

  2. Average Daily Nocturia Frequency Compared to Baseline

    At the end of Weeks 4, 8, and 12, the change in average daily nocturia frequency compared to baseline will be calculated using the participants' 72-hour voiding diaries

    Time frame: treatment during 12 weeks : assessments at weeks 4, 8, and 12.

  3. Average Voided Volume per Urination Compared to Baseline

    At the end of Weeks 4, 8, and 12, the change in average voided volume per urination compared to baseline will be calculated using the participants' 72-hour voiding diaries

    Time frame: treatment during 12 weeks : assessments at weeks 4, 8, and 12.

  4. Average Daily Incontinence Episodes

    At the end of Weeks 4, 8, and 12, the average daily incontinence episodes will be calculated using the participants' 72-hour voiding diaries

    Time frame: treatment during 12 weeks : assessments at weeks 4, 8, and 12.

  5. OABSS Compared to Baseline

    At the end of Weeks 4, 8, and 12, the change in Overactive Bladder Symptom Score (OABSS) compared to baseline will be calculated.

    Time frame: treatment during 12 weeks : assessments at weeks 4, 8, and 12.

  6. PPBC-S Compared to Baseline

    At the end of Weeks 4, 8, and 12, the change in Patient Perception of Bladder C Scale (PPBC-S) compared to baseline will be calculated.

    Time frame: treatment during 12 weeks : assessments at weeks 4, 8, and 12.

  7. AUA-SI-QOL Compared to Baseline

    At the end of Weeks 4, 8, and 12, the change in American Urological Association- Symptom Index-Quality of life (AUA-SI-QOL) compared to baseline will be calculated.

    Time frame: treatment during 12 weeks : assessments at weeks 4, 8, and 12.

  8. SAS Compared to Baseline

    At the end of Weeks 4, 8, and 12, the change in Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) compared to baseline will be calculated.

    Time frame: treatment during 12 weeks : assessments at weeks 4, 8, and 12.

  9. Participant Satisfaction

    At the end of Weeks 4, 8, and 12, participant satisfaction will be assessed using a participant satisfaction questionnaire

    Time frame: treatment during 12 weeks : assessments at weeks 4, 8, and 12.

  10. Potential Adverse Events Related by TTNS

    During the study, information on potential adverse events related to TTNS will be recorded, including pain and infection at the stimulation site, tibial nerve injury (such as motor dysfunction, neuralgia, etc.), urinary system complications (such as urinary retention), and other adverse events that the investigator deems potentially related to TTNS."

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Start is estimated for Sep 2024; primary completion for Feb 2025, 5 months later.

Of 17 phase 3 interventional studies under Prostatic Hyperplasia, half reached primary completion within 28 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 19 and three quarters within 50. This study's planned 5 months is below that.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Aug 16, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
