Medtecx

Status: Completed

Conditions: Overactive Bladder

Treatments: Device: Non-invasive low-frequency tibial nerve stimulator (TNS-01)

Study type: Interventional

Funder types: Industry

Identifiers

Details and patient eligibility

About

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of non-invasive tibial nerve stimulator for the treatment of overactive bladder under the premise of ensuring the safety of the subjects and ensuring the scientific nature of the clinical trial. The primary safety endpoint will be device-related adverse events. The primary effectiveness endpoint will be the improvement value of overactive bladder symptom score (OABSS) after 12-week treatment.

Enrollment: 109 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 80 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers
