Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Does treatment with the device under study improve symptoms of stress urinary incontinence as measured by the ICIQ?
Participants will be given one of the devices under study, in addition to educational materials on use of the device, and a treatment schedule. Participants will perform a standardized biofeedback-mediated pelvic floor muscle training program with the study device 10 minutes a day, five times a week for 4 weeks. There will be a mid-study check in to assure all devices are functioning appropriately. At the end of the study, participants will complete a post-treatment urinary incontinence symptom questionnaire(ICIQ).

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
After screening, patients meeting inclusion criteria will be given a study brochure, and then given instructions on how to indicate desire to participate in the study. The patient will then be contacted for study participation, including explanation of study and details and completion of Informed Consent. Participants will then complete a pre-treatment urinary incontinence symptom questionnaire(ICIQ).
After completion of the above, the participants will then be given one of the devices under study, in addition to educational materials on use of the device, and a treatment schedule. Participants will perform a standardized biofeedback-mediated pelvic floor muscle training program with the study device 10 minutes a day, five times a week for 4 weeks. There will be a mid-study check in to assure all devices are functioning appropriately. At the end of the study, participants will complete a post-treatment urinary incontinence symptom questionnaire(ICIQ).
Endpoint of the study will be change in stress urinary incontinence symptoms as measured by the ICIQ. The ICIQ will be collected at 2 time points: before study entry, and at study close.
