Summary

This trial is comparing the amount of radiation exposure between two groups during a sacral neuromodulation procedure.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients getting a sacral neuromodulation implant due to overactive bladder, which includes symptoms like urinary urgency, frequent urination at night, and possibly urge incontinence. It's not open to those with neurogenic bladder issues, a BMI over 40, or peripheral neuropathy.
What is being tested?
The study is comparing two ways of using fluoroscopy during the placement of a lead for bladder control: one uses the usual amount of radiation (conventional), while the other tries to reduce it (experimental). The goal is to see if less radiation works just as well.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on reducing radiation exposure during a procedure rather than testing drugs, side effects are related to standard risks from fluoroscopy such as skin irritation or burns but are expected to be lower in reduced-radiation group.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Reduced Radiation FluoroscopyExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Reduced radiation fluoroscopy technique is performed by the C-arm set at 1 pulses-per-second and reduction of current.
Group II: Conventional FluoroscopyActive Control1 Intervention
The standard of care is the conventional fluoroscopy, the C-arm is set at 30 pulses-per-second and the current set as the default.
