Mindfulness + tDCS to Reduce Urgency Incontinence in Women

Cynthia Conklin·interventional·Posted Dec 3, 2020·Updated May 31, 2024

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Transcranial direct current stimulation and Mindfulness for Urinary Incontinence, Urge. Completed, enrolled 61 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

Urge urinary incontinence (UUI) is a common problem in older women, which vastly reduces quality of life. UUI sufferers frequently report situational triggers (e.g. approaching the front door) leading to urinary urgency and/or leakage, which can be caused by psychological conditioning. This project will test the feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy of brief mindfulness (MI) and non-invasive brain stimulation (transcranial direct current stimulation; tDCS) to reduce reactivity to personal urgency cues and attenuate symptoms of UUI. This is a novel step towards providing personalized efficacious non-pharmacologic treatment for UUI.
