Brief Summary
The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of QRS®-1010 PelviCenter in female patients with stress urinary incontinence. Based on the available data on magnetic stimulation, the investigators hypothesize that magnetic stimulation via QRS®-1010 PelviCenter will reduce the number and amount of urinary leakage upon exertion as well as improve patients' quality of life.
