Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation for Neurogenic Overactive Bladder Symptoms Among People With Stroke

2026년 8월 19일 업데이트: Dr. Priya Kannan, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation for Neurogenic Overactive Bladder Symptoms Among People With Stroke: a Randomized Controlled Pilot Trial

Neurogenic overactive bladder (nOAB) is a common and distressing sequela following stroke, significantly impairing quality of life and imposing a substantial financial burden. Existing pharmacological options often present adverse effects, while standard non-pharmacological treatments, such as pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT), face compliance and efficacy limitations in individuals with functional impairments. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique capable of modulating neuronal excitability and cortical plasticity. Targeting the supplementary motor area (SMA) via tDCS may regulate pelvic floor muscle (PFM) and detrusor activities. However, clinical evidence evaluating tDCS as an adjuvant to PFMT for stroke survivors with nOAB is lacking. This randomized controlled pilot trial aims to evaluate the feasibility, preliminary effectiveness, and cost-utility of active tDCS combined with PFMT compared to sham tDCS plus PFMT in stroke survivors suffering from nOAB.

무기와 개입

참가자 그룹 / 팔
개입 / 치료
실험적: Active transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) + pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT)
Participants will receive active tDCS (1.5 mA for 20 minutes; current density 0.06 mA/cm²) 3 times per week for 8 weeks. tDCS will be conducted using two 5 x 7 cm² surface electrodes connected to a battery-powered stimulator (Neuroelectrics Instrument Controller, v 2.0). The anodal electrode will be placed over the supplementary motor area, and the cathodal electrode over the contralateral supraorbital region.
Immediately following tDCS, participants will receive supervised, individual (1:1) PFMT for 30 minutes per session, consisting of pelvic floor contraction exercises (contracting the urethra/shortening the penis and controlling passage of gas), each held for 10 seconds and followed by 10 seconds of relaxation. PFMT will be performed 3 times per week for 8 weeks.
가짜 비교기: Sham transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) + pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT)
Immediately following tDCS, participants will receive supervised, individual (1:1) PFMT for 30 minutes per session, consisting of pelvic floor contraction exercises (contracting the urethra/shortening the penis and controlling passage of gas), each held for 10 seconds and followed by 10 seconds of relaxation. PFMT will be performed 3 times per week for 8 weeks.
Participants will receive sham tDCS (active current for 30 seconds, then turned off) 3 times per week for 8 weeks. tDCS will be conducted using two 5 x 7 cm² surface electrodes connected to a battery-powered stimulator (Neuroelectrics Instrument Controller, v 2.0). The anodal electrode will be placed over the supplementary motor area, and the cathodal electrode over the contralateral supraorbital region.
