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

A Prospective, Multi-center, Randomized Controlled, Double-blind, Superiority Clinical Trial Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of a Non-invasive Low-frequency Tibial Nerve Stimulator for the Treatment of Overactive Bladder

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.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Women and men aged between 18 and 80 years old (including 18 and 80 years old)；

2. Individual with primary OAB, or with OAB symptoms, satisfies one of the following conditions:

   ② Urge urinary incontinence: accompanied with urinary urgency or immediately after urinary urgency ;

   ③ Urination frequency: adults urination frequency ≥8 times during the daytime，≥2 times at night, and each urine volume <200 ml .

3. Individual meets the diagnostic criteria of OAB: According to the OABSS questionnaire, urgency score ≥2 points, total score ≥3 points, and symptoms duration ≥3 months;

4. Individual newly diagnosed with OAB have not been medicated, or is able to stop taking OAB-related drugs (M receptor block, β3 receptor agonists) for at least 2 weeks prior to enrollment;

5. The subject has autonomy and can go to the toilet independently;

6. Individual is ambulatory and able to use the toilet independently;

7. Individual is capable and willing to participate in the study and provide the written informed consent.
