An interventional study of Electrical intravaginal muscle stimulation in Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI), sponsored by IRCCS San Raffaele. Not yet recruiting. Open to female participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-03-13.
Sponsored by IRCCS San Raffaele · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
The investigator wants to evaluate the efficacy of a specific intravaginal Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS), in the treatment of exclusive or predominant stress urinary incontinence (SUI) symptoms in women. The investigator's aim is to determine the device's impact (the device is VTone) on reducing urinary incontinence episodes and on improving women's quality of life.

Exclusion Criteria:
We will include women suffering from stress urinary incontinence who will be treated with intravaginal electrical muscle stimulation with a device called VTone. VTone is a small anatomically shaped applicator that delivers intravaginal electrical muscle stimulation This device includes an ogival, circular body, with a handle at one end of the body and a head at the other end of the body. The head includes a substantially flat, metallic surface. The device should be used with gel. The treatment will include 6 sessions (sessions will be planned once a week) and women will be asked to fill in a bladder voiding diary and validated questionnnaires at baseline and at follow up visits (one and three months after the last treatment).
Device: Electrical intravaginal muscle stimulation
The device includes an ogival, circular body, with a handle at one end of the body, a head at the other end of the body. The head includes a substantially flat, metallic surface. The device and the head are sized and configured to be received in a patient's vagina. The device should be used with gel. Patients will be trated with six sessions (planned once a week for a total of six week).
Variation in patient bladder voiding diaries' results at follow up visits versus baseline
Eligible subjects will receive a total of 8 treatments (once a week) using the transvaginal electrical stimulation. All subjects will be required to return to the clinic at 1 month and 3 months after the last treatment. At baseline and during the two follow up visits patients will be asked to fill in a bladder voiding diary.
Time frame: Follow up visits: 1 month and 3 months after the last session of treatment
