Brief Summary
The goal of this prospective, multi-center, double-blinded randomized controlled is to learn about effectiveness and QOL with eCoin at two different amplitude settings in subjects with urge urinary incontincence (UUI). The main question it aims to answer is:
- The reduction in UUI episodes per day on a 3-day voiding diary in both groups after 3 months of therapy Participants will be implanted with the eCoin device and randomized to either a sensory or subsensory stimulation group and complete voiding diaries and patient reported-outcomes through 3 months of therapy. After 3 months, subjects will be unblinded and reprogramming will be offered. Subjects will be followed for an additional month to a total of 4 months.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Change in UUI Episodes Per Day
The primary endpoint is to explore the effect of two different eCoin amplitude settings on the change of UUI episodes per day on a 3-day voiding diary. A negative number shows a reduction in UUI episodes per day which means symptoms have improved since baseline. A positive number shows an increase in UUI episodes per day which means symptoms have worsened since baseline.
3 months post-activation
Secondary Outcomes (4)
Change in UUI Episodes Per Day
2 months post-activation

Change in Overactive Bladder Health Related Quality of Life (HRQL)

Study Arms (2)
Sensory
EXPERIMENTALParticipants in the sensory treatment arm will be programmed to their sensory threshold.
Subsensory
EXPERIMENTALParticipants in the subsensory treatment arm will be programmed to approximately 75% of their sensory threshold.
Interventions
The eCoin device is a leadless, coin-sized tibial neurostimulator for treatment of urgency urinary incontinence. It emits a dome-shaped electrical field to deliver low-duty cycle stimulation to the tibial nerve. The device is to be implanted under local anesthetic in the lower leg, and once activated delivers automatic 30-minute treatment sessions without the need for patient management.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Individual with diagnosis of overactive bladder with urgency urinary incontinence - daily UUI with a predominantly urgency component
- Individual is intolerant of or has an inadequate response to any of anticholinergics, β3-adrenoceptor agonists, onabotulinumtoxinA, or who have undergone percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS).
- Individual is determined to be a suitable surgical candidate by physician.
You may not qualify if:
- Individual is not appropriate for eCoin therapy based upon the US FDA-approved IFU requirements.
- Individual has predominantly stress urinary incontinence (greater than 1/3 of leaks on baseline diary are stress).
- Individual has clinically significant bladder outlet obstruction.
- Individual has an active urinary tract infection at time of enrollment or has had four or more symptomatic UTI's in the last 12 months.
- Individual has significant lower urinary tract pain or has been diagnosed with interstitial cystitis or bladder pain syndrome that is actively being managed.
- Individual has post void residual greater than 200 cc.
- Individual has an active diagnosis of bladder, urethral, or prostate cancer.
- Individual has had a prior anti-stress incontinence surgery within the last year.
- Individual has uncontrolled diabetes mellitus (Hemoglobin A1C\>7).
- Individual is neutropenic or immune-compromised.
- Individual has lower extremity pathology such as:
- Previous surgery and/or significant scarring at the planned implant location
- Ongoing dermatologic condition at the implant site, including but not limited to dermatitis and autoimmune disorders
- Clinically significant peripheral neuropathy in the lower extremities
- Pitting edema at the implant location (≥ 2+ is excluded)
- +8 more criteria
