N/A
Recruiting

Research Sponsored by William Beaumont Hospitals
Eligibility Criteria Checklist

Be older than 18 years old
Timeline
Screening 3 weeks
Treatment Varies
Follow Up at stimulation visit, 1 day
Awards & highlights
No Placebo-Only Group
Summary
This trial looks at how electrical stimulation of near the urethra affects pressure in the urethra.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for women over 18 with Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) or stress predominant mixed incontinence, lasting at least 6 months. Participants must understand and consent to the study's procedures. Exclusions include recent bacterial UTIs, severe coagulation disorders, pregnancy/breastfeeding, certain medical conditions like Multiple Sclerosis or uncontrolled diseases that affect protocol compliance.
What is being tested?
The study tests how peri-urethral neurostimulation affects intra-urethral pressure in women with urinary issues. It involves urodynamic testing both with and without stimulation of the pudendal nerve to see if this can help control urination.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include discomfort from the urodynamic testing procedure and possible irritation or reaction from the neurostimulation device used during testing.

Study Objectives
Study objectives can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.Primary study objectives
The effect of acute peri-urethral neurostimulation on intra-urethral pressure.
Secondary study objectives
Safety and tolerability will be assessed in relation to the incidence of adverse events occurring within one week of stimulation visit.
Valsalva leak point pressure (LLP) in response to acute peri-urethral neurostimulation compared to no stimulation
Awards & Highlights
No Placebo-Only Group
All patients enrolled in this study will receive some form of active treatment.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Urodynamic testing and LLP with and without pudendal nerve stimulationExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Commercially available stimulation needles or leads will be inserted into the peri-urethral space targeting the perineal branch of the pudendal nerve. An external neurostimulator settings will be adjusted to deliver acute stimulation. Urodynamic testing will be completed by filling the bladder to a set volume and observing for urinary leakage. The assessment will be completed with stimulation turned on and off. The neurostimulator device settings will be adjusted by the investigator to stay within safe and comfortable levels for each individual study participant.
