💬In plain words
What the trial is, and whether it could suit you
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether a new sacral neuromodulation (SNM) system (INO-SNM-01) can safely and effectively sense bladder nerve activity and provide stimulation to help manage symptoms of refractory overactive bladder in adult women aged 18-70 who have not responded to standard treatments.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Is there a clear relationship between bladder nerve activity and patient-reported urgency sensations?
* Can targeted stimulation based on bladder nerve activity reduce overactive bladder symptoms?
* Is the INO-SNM-01 System safe to use?
Researchers will not use a comparison group in this study. Instead, all participants will receive the investigational device to see if it works as intended.
Participants will undergo surgery to have a temporary trial lead implanted near the sacral nerve and spend up to 2 days in hospital for monit
