Study summary

The purpose of this feasibility clinical investigation is to investigate a new medical device treatment for Overactive Bladder (OAB) in women.

Read the detailed description

The FemPulse System is a vaginal ring intended to provide mild electrical stimulation to nerves that regulate bladder function. It is believed that stimulation of these nerves may help relieve the symptoms of OAB.

Inclusion criteria

  • Normal healthy women ≥ 21 years old
  • Using if of reproductive age

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pregnant, recently pregnant or actively trying to conceive
  • Prior hysterectomy
  • Current or recent urinary tract or vaginal infection
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
