The primary objective of this study is to determine the effectiveness of transvaginally-delivered low level laser therapy (LLLT) versus Sham in the treatment of overactive bladder symptoms in women. The secondary objective is to determine the effect of transvaginally-delivered LLLT vs. sham on the quality of life.
This study is a double-blind, randomized, sham-controlled, multicenter, clinical trial that will include enrollment of up to 200 subjects at up to 3 investigational sites.
The study population will be randomized at a 1:1 ratio into two groups: Sham Laser Group (SLG) and Active Laser Group (ALG). The Sham Laser Group will receive a sham LLLT procedure (no laser energy) and the Active Laser Group will receive an active LLLT procedure (laser energy).
Both groups will undergo 3 LLLT procedures per week for 3 weeks, for a total of 9 LLLT procedures. Whether the procedure will be a sham procedure (placebo) or an active LLLT application will be determined by randomization which will assign subjects to be treated with an LCT-1000TM labeled either Laser A or Laser B. The only difference between Laser A and Laser B is that one does not emit laser energy; therefore, both subjects and site research personnel will be blinded as to whether laser energy is actually applied to the subject.

| The primary efficacy endpoint will be the improvement of OAB symptoms and general quality of life due to the effect of LLLT treatment on OAB through week 7. | Patients will undergo 3 LLLT procedures per week for 3 weeks, for a total of 9 LLLT procedures. | Visits 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 (over approximately 7 weeks) |
| The primary safety endpoint will evaluate the SLG and ALG treatment groups for differences in reported side effects and adeverse events throughout the trial, including LLLT treatment and follow-up. | Patients will undergo 3 LLLT procedures per week for 3 weeks, for a total of 9 LLLT procedures. | Visits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 (over approximately 8 weeks) |
