About this trial
Urinary incontinence, bladder frequency, and bladder urgency are significant medical problems for people with overactive bladder (OAB) or neurogenic bladder overactivity (NDO). Affected individuals typically experience reflex bladder contractions in response to bladder filling at low volumes, resulting in urinary incontinence and decreased bladder capacity. This project will advance a new device for administering noninvasive electrical stimulation in order to improve bladder control.
