Transvaginal Electrical Stimulation for the Treatment of OAB-dry
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating iStim TENS unit and Transvaginal Probe for Overactive Bladder and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 24 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Overactive bladder (OAB) is a chronic disorder with an overall prevalence in the adult population of over 10%, but that may exceed 40% in elderly groups. Most overactive bladder treatments are aimed at decreasing urgency incontinence episodes. The purpose of this study is to determine whether an at-home transvaginal electrical stimulation (TES) program works to alleviate symptoms of urgency in patients with urinary urgency and frequency without incontinence. This is a cross-over trial. Women \>18 yo presenting with OAB-dry will be randomized to receive one of two TES at home programs for 4 weeks. After completion of the program, the participant's symptoms will be assessed with standardized patient questionnaires. There will then be a 3 week washout period followed by the second at-home TES program. At the completion of the second program, the participant's symptoms will be assessed with the same standardized questionnaires. The participants will be followed for 6 months following the completion of the TES program.

Interventions
iStim TENS unit and Transvaginal Probe are both commercially available products. TENS units work by delivering small electrical impulses through electrodes either attached to the skin or through a transvaginal probe. iStim transvaginal probe will be inserted vaginally to provide transvaginal electrical stimulation.
