NeuroGyn Genital Neuromodulation System for iOAB Treatment

The NEUROGYN-GNS Pivotal Clinical Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of the Neurogyn Genital Neuromodulation System, a Genital Nerves Neuromodulation Device Used to Treat Idiopathic Overactive Bladder (iOAB).

The NeuroGyn study is designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness to the NeuroGyn Genital Neuromodulation System as an aid in the treatment of the symptoms of idiopathic overactive bladder in patients who have failed or could not tolerate more conservative treatments.
