Summary

This trial will compare two different ways of using sacral neuromodulation to treat overactive bladder, to see which one works better.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for English-speaking women aged 18 or older with a diagnosis of urinary urge incontinence or overactive bladder. Participants should have seen at least a 50% reduction in episodes after an initial SNM test and be willing to complete all study-related tasks.

What is being tested?

The study compares two ways of delivering sacral neuromodulation (SNM) for treating overactive bladder: one group will receive continuous SNM, while the other will get cyclic SNM. It's a multi-site trial where participants are randomly assigned to either method.

What are the potential side effects?

Potential side effects from SNM can include discomfort at the implant site, lead migration, technical problems with the device, infection risk, and possible changes in bowel function.

Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Cyclic SNMExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

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.

Group II: Continuous SNMActive Control1 Intervention

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)
