Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to compare treatment outcomes for patients with mixed urinary incontinence (MUI) for whom therapy is initiated with surgery to those for whom therapy is initiated with non-surgical treatment. Women who are bothered by symptoms of both stress and urge incontinence will be randomly assigned to initiate treatment with a surgical (surgery for stress incontinence) vs. a non-surgical (drug and behavioral therapy) approach. Follow-up will be a minimum of 12 Months.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Surgical Treatment

Surgical treatment will consist of the following evidence-based stress incontinence procedures: mid-urethral slings (TVT, TOT, TVT-O), fascial slings, and Burch colposuspension.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Surgical

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Initial surgical (stress incontinence surgery) treatment approach.

Non Surgical Treatment

The non-surgical treatment will include two components:

1. Pharmacological therapy with any FDA approved overactive bladder (OAB) drug in approved doses; and
2. Behavioral therapy.
