Trial summary

Subjects will place a surface electrode on their perineal area after a bladder-filling protocol. Transabdominal ultrasound will image the base of the bladder at rest, voluntary pelvic floor contraction, with the surface electrical stimulation and with a combined pelvic floor contraction and electrical stimulation… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Pelvic Floor Muscle With Surface Electrical Stimulation

Subjects will place a surface electrode on their perineal area after a bladder-filling protocol. Transabdominal ultrasound will image the base of the bladder at rest, voluntary pelvic floor contraction, with the surface electrical stimulation and with a combined pelvic floor contraction and electrical stimulation active.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Surface electrical stimulationDevice

    Also called Elitone

    Thin electrode with four conductive areas placed over the perineal area.

Study groups in NCT03528928
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Surface electrical stimulationExperimentalEach subject did a Kegel pelvic floor contraction, had the surface electrical stimulation turned on at highest comfortable intensity, did a Kegel contraction with surface electrical stimulation on, and had second electrical stimulation turned on.
Receives: Device: Surface electrical stimulation

What is being measured

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

  1. Movement of the Bladder

    Visualization of movement of the bladder with use of device by transabdominal ultrasound was captured and the measurement is measured in pixels for centroid magnitude displacement.

    Measured: 1 Day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Surface electrical stimulation in people with Pelvic Floor Disorders, run by Elidah, Inc. at 1 site in United States.

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 2 inclusion and 8 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 17 Dec 2024. 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 United States. 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. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 17 Dec 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Movement of the Bladder (time frame: 1 Day). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 17 Dec 2024.
