Use of the Leva Incontinence System in Treating Bladder Incontinence.
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Stress Urinary Incontinence
In brief
This open-label proof-of-concept study is designed to evaluate the impact of the leva digital incontinence system on the treatment of stress and mixed urinary incontinence in women over a six week period. Subjects will participate in a 2.5 minute exercise program twice daily (performed at a clinic with therapist assistance 5x weekly, and at home once daily on weekdays and twice daily on weekends. Validated surveys (UDI-6, IIQ-7 and PGI-I) will be used to evaluate symptom relief. A battery of pelvic floor muscle exercises will be performed weekly to evaluate progress in muscle strengthening.
