About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo Controlled Clinical Trial to Investigate the Effects of Transpelvic Magnetic Stimulation (Using QRS®-1010 PelviCenter) in Patients With Stress Urinary Incontinence.

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.

Read the detailed description

A total of 120 female patients will be randomly assigned into two treatment groups (active arm and sham arm) in a 1:1 ratio. The standard QRS®-1010 PelviCenter treatment plan involves 16 sessions of 20 minutes each. Each subject will attend 2 sessions per week (total 16 sessions).

Being tested
Magnetic stimulation, Sham magnetic stimulation
Medical subject headings
Urinary Incontinence, Stress

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Change in Incontinence Episode Frequency (IEF)

    Measured: Baseline, Week 4, 8. Follow-up at 3-,6- and 12-months post treatment

  2. Change in 1-hour exercise (stress) pad test

    Measured: Baseline, Week 4, 8. Follow-up at 3-,6- and 12-months post treatment

  3. Change in Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I)

    Measured: Week 4, 8. Follow-up at 3-,6- and 12-months post treatment

  4. Change in International consultation on incontinence questionnaire-Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Quality of Life (ICIQ-LUTSqol)

    Measured: Baseline, Week 4, 8. Follow-up at 3-,6- and 12-months post treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Magnetic stimulation in people with Stress Urinary Incontinence, run by QRS Asia Sdn Bhd at 1 site in Malaysia.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 14 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Feb 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Malaysia. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in International consultation on incontinence questionnaire for urinary incontinence-short form (ICIQ-UI SF) (time frame: Baseline, Week 4, 8. Follow-up at 3-,6- and 12-months post treatment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01924728, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Feb 2016.
