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

2026年8月19日 更新者: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.

武器和干预

参与者组/臂
干预/治疗
实验性的: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.
假比较器: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.

研究衡量的是什么?

主要结果指标

结果测量
措施说明
大体时间
Overactive bladder symptoms severity
大体时间:Baseline and post-intervention at 8 weeks
Overactive bladder symptoms severity will be assessed using Overactive Bladder Symptom Score (OABSS). The total score of OABSS ranges from 0 to 15, with a higher score indicating higher symptom severity.
Baseline and post-intervention at 8 weeks

Total time required to recruit the full study sample. The unit of measure is weeks.
Through study completion, an average of 1 year.
Retention Rate
大体时间:Baseline to 8 weeks
Percentage of enrolled participants who complete assessments at 8 weeks post-intervention, calculated as (number completing 8-week assessment / number enrolled) × 100. The unit of measure is %.

Adverse Events
大体时间:Baseline to 8 weeks
Number of participants in each group who experience adverse events, monitored throughout the intervention.

Detrusor wall thickness measured using the Mindray Consona N9 ultrasound system (Sonos Medical Limited) with a convex transducer of 3-6 MHz. An increase in detrusor wall thickness indicates detrusor overactivity. The unit of measure is millimeter (mm).
Baseline and post-intervention at 8 weeks
Bladder Neck Elevation
大体时间:Baseline and post-intervention at 8 weeks
Bladder neck elevation, a surrogate measure of pelvic floor muscle strength, will be measured using the Mindray Consona N9 ultrasound system (Sonos Medical Limited). Greater bladder neck elevation indicates stronger pelvic floor muscle strength. The unit of measure is millimeter (mm).

Health-related quality of life will be assessed using the EuroQol 5-Dimension 5-Level (EQ-5D-5L) questionnaire. The score ranges from -0.864 to 1.0, where 1.0 indicates full health and higher scores indicate better health-related quality of life.
