Study Groups

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

Unilateral Posterior Tibial Nerve Stimulation

Transcutaneous posterior tibial nerve stimulation applied 40 minutes every day for a duration of 4 weeks. The patient places the cathode electrode above, and the anode electrode behind, the medial malleolus, over the posterior tibial nerve and sets the stimulation intensity to a comfortable level.

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Bilateral Posterior Tibial Nerve Stimulation

Transcutaneous posterior tibial nerve stimulation applied 40 minutes every day for a duration of 4 weeks. The patient places the cathode electrode above, and the anode electrode behind, the medial malleolus, over the posterior tibial nerve on both legs and sets the stimulation intensity to a comfortable level.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Shoulder stimulation

Stimulation applied 40 minutes every day for a duration of 4 weeks. The patient places the cathode and the anode electrodes on the lateral side of the left shoulder.

* Pelvic surgery (such as sub-urethral sling, pelvic floor repair) within the past 6 months
* Denovo OAB following pelvic surgery sub-urethral sling Intravesical or urethral sphincter Botulinum Toxin Type A injections within the past 6 months
* Percutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation (PTNS) therapy for overactive bladder within the past 6 months
* Any form of electric stimulation to the pelvis or lower limbs within 4 weeks
* Vaginal prolapse greater than Stage II in the anterior compartment of the vagina using International Continence Society (ICS) Pelvic Organ ProlapseQuantification (POPQ) criteria.
* Prior periurethral or transurethral bulking agent injections for bladder problems within the past 12 months.

* Pregnant, nursing, suspected to be pregnant (by urine pregnancy method), or plans to become pregnant during the course of the study.
* Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections UTI (\>3 UTI's in the past year)
* History of, or current, lower tract genitourinary malignancies
* Any clinically significant systemic disease or condition that in the opinion of the Investigator would make the patient unsuitable for the study
* Any other clinical trial within 6 months
