Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Reduction in incontinence

    Primary endpoint is a reduction in incontinence events at 3 months post treatment as determined by a 7 point patient global impression of improvement

Treatment

OTHER

This pilot study group is a prospective observational study. It is not blinded and there is no control. This is a single arm study (treatment group) which will receive intravesical electrical stimulation with a total of 8 therapy sessions, each lasting 15 minutes. The sessions will be done in a serial fashion, 2 per week for 4 consecutive weeks.

Device: EMED detruset(TM) intravesical electrical stimulation

Interventions

There will be a total of 8 therapy sessions, each lasting 15 minutes. The sessions will be done in a serial fashion, 2 per week for 4 consecutive weeks. The electrical parameters utilized will be those previously determined to be appropriate for OAB and UUI. As the beneficial effect of electrical stimulation is dependent on a "maximal" level of stimulation, the stimulation voltage will be increased during the first minute of treatment until the maximum tolerated by the patient is established and then backed-off by 1-2 Volts. The therapy will continue for 15 minutes in total for each session. The VAS will be marked by the patient before each treatment session throughout the therapy period, and other questionnaires will be administered.
