Evaluation of the TheraNova Neuromodulation System for the Treatment of Overactive Bladder Symptoms
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the TheraNova Neuromodulation System in overactive bladder (OAB) patients. The primary safety endpoint will be device-related adverse events. The primary effectiveness endpoint will be urinary urge incontinence (UUI) responder rate at 12 weeks (a responder is defined as a subject who experiences at least a 50% reduction in the mean frequency of UUI events per day from baseline to 12 weeks as measured in the 3-day voiding diaries). Responder rate will be compared between subjects randomized to the active treatment vs. the sham treatment.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- The primary effectiveness endpoint is the percentage of subjects with at least a 50% reduction in frequency of UUI events from baseline to 12 weeks as measured in 3-day voiding diaries. [12 weeks]
