Stimulation techniques for bladder problems in women with multiple sclerosis

This trial is testing two different ways to stimulate acupuncture points on your inner ankle to see if they can help ease bladder symptoms caused by multiple sclerosis. You would receive either electrical stimulation (using a TENS device), manual pressure (acupressure), or routine care alone over a 5-week period. Researchers want to understand whether these approaches are safe, feasible, and actually help women with MS who struggle with bladder control.

Many women with MS develop neurogenic bladder dysfunction—a condition where the nerves that control the bladder stop working properly, causing urgency, frequent urination, and incontinence. Current treatments have limited effectiveness, and researchers are exploring whether stimulating specific nerve points might offer a new, non-invasive option to improve bladder symptoms.
