• 1 other identifier: STUDY20231521
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 50
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 3

Brief Summary

This will be a prospective, randomized-controlled multi-site trial comparing cyclic versus continuous sacral neuromodulation (SNM) for OAB.

Conditions

Overactive Bladder Syndrome

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Change in ICIQ-OAB-QoL Score

  ICIQ-OABqol is a 28 question patient-completed survey evaluating quality of life (QoL) in patients with overactive bladder. Score ranges 25-160 points with greater value indicating increased impact on quality of life.

  Baseline to 12 months post-operatively

Secondary Outcomes (12)

• Change in ICIQ-OAB-QoL Score

  1 month, 6 months post-operatively

• Change in OAB-q SF

  1 month, 6 months, 12 months post-operatively

• Change in Overactive Bladder Symptom Score (OABSS)

  1 month, 6 months, 12 months post-operatively

• Change in Incontinence Impact Questionnaire SF (IIQ-7)

  1 month, 6 months, 12 months post-operatively

• Urinary Distress Inventory SF (UDI-6)

  1 month, 6 months, 12 months post-operatively

Study Arms (2)

Cyclic SNM

EXPERIMENTAL

Programming of the SNM device will occur as per standard protocol in discussion between patient and SNM representative. The intervention will be to set the device to cycling stimulation program mode.

Device: Cyclic SNM

Continuous SNM

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Programming of the SNM device will occur as per standard protocol in discussion between patient and SNM representative. The intervention will be to set the device to continuous stimulation programming (SNM is continuously stimulating without "off" periods)

Device: Continuous SNM

Interventions

Cyclic SNM DEVICE

SNM cycling: 8 hours on, 16 hours off

Cyclic SNM

Continuous SNM DEVICE

Continuous SNM: on continuously, no 'off' period

Continuous SNM
