Evaluation of the The Neuromodulation System for the Treatment of Overactive Bladder Symptoms

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.

  • Individual has Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI);
  • Individual has obvious urinary obstruction due to various reasons accompanied by residual urine volume> 100 ml;
  • Individual has an implanted pacemaker, embedded cardioverter defibrillator, or other electrical medical devices (including sacral neuromodulation (SNM) devices)
  • Individual has uncured urinary system infection;
  • Individual has urinary calculus resulting in lower urinary tract symptoms;
  • Individual has congenital urinary tract malformations causing uncured lower urinary tract symptoms;
  • Individual has uncured cancers;
  • Individual had undergone lower urinary tract surgery within 3 months;
  • Individual has neurological diseases or injuries accompanied with uncured lower urinary tract symptoms;
  • Individual has skin breakage, malignant tumor or acute purulent inflammation on the surface of the plantar where the electrode pads are to be placed;

Treatment and study plan

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

Device

The investigational device is a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) device that is designed to provide stimulation to the nerves at the site of application via surface electrodes temporarily adhered to the skin.

Primary outcomes

  1. The change of overactive bladder symptom score (OABSS) after 12-week treatment compared with baseline

    Time frame: 12 weeks

    OABSS is evaluated via 3-day voiding diary and urinary voiding events of the previous week at week 0, 4, 8 and 12 after treatment. Evaluate OABSS improvement from baseline after 12 weeks of treatment and compared between the Treatment and the Control groups
