What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in Urinary Urge Incontinence (UUI) Episodes Per Day From Baseline to 12 Weeks.

    Symptoms related to OAB were evaluated using paper voiding diaries. Subjects were trained to complete the urinary voiding diaries for 3-days.

    Measured: 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change in QoL Using ICIQ-OAB QOL From Baseline to 12 Weeks.

    International Consultation on Incontinence Modular Questionnaire - Overactive Bladder Symptoms Quality of Life Questionnaire The questionnaire consists of 4 subscales and a single item on urinary symptom interference.

    The four subscales of Concern (7 items), Coping (8 items), Sleep (5 items), and Social (5 items) are measured on a scale from 0-100 using a range percentile transformation on the summed value from individual listed items. The Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQL) score is a calculated score with a range from 0 to 100 using a range percentile transformation on the summed value from the subscales. Subjects were asked a urinary symptom interference question. "Interference" was measured on a scale from 0-10.

    A positive change in Concern, Coping, Sleep, Social, and HRQL indicates improvement in Quality of Life; a negative change in Interference indicates improvement in Quality of Life.

    Measured: 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing InterStim Therapy in people with Urinary Urge Incontinence, run by MedtronicNeuro at 18 sites in 7 countries.

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 6 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
