Efficacy of General Magnetic Therapy and Motor-Evoked Potential-Guided Precision Magnetic Therapy in Patients with Overactive Bladder: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Aims/Background Overactive bladder (OAB) is a prevalent chronic condition affecting approximately 12% of adults, with incidence increasing with age. While pharmacological and behavioural therapies are standard treatments, their efficacy is often limited by side effects and poor adherence. This study aimed to compare the therapeutic effects of precision magnetic stimulation guided by motor-evoked potential with general magnetic therapy in patients with OAB. ⋯ While there were no significant differences between the two magnetic stimulation methods in terms of OABSS scores, urgent urination, nocturnal urination, or maximum bladder volume, precision magnetic therapy showed greater efficacy in reducing urination frequency and improving initial bladder volume. These findings suggest that precision magnetic therapy offers an enhanced therapeutic benefit. Clinical Trial Registration Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2400087888).
