Description:

The purpose of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness of the ELITONE-UUI electrical muscle stimulation device on treating urge incontinence in women. The aim of the device is to stimulate the pelvic floor muscles and surrounding structures to improve urinary incontinence. This is a randomized prospective controlled study of two active groups with a stimulation frequency difference between the groups.

• An affirmative response to "Is it very difficult to control when you have a strong urge to urinate?",
• An affirmative or negative response to "Do you lose urine with physical activities such as coughing, sneezing, running?",
• And, if an affirmative response to the second question, an affirmative response to "Are more of your incontinence episodes due to a strong urge to urinate than to abdominal pressure such as sneezing?"
• Mild-moderate incontinence symptoms as determined by self-reported typical number of accidents of 1 or more per 24 hours. Symptom severity is later verified with data from the Daily Log (See 5.4)

• History or symptoms of urinary retention, extra-urethral incontinence, overflow incontinence
• Pelvic pain/painful bladder syndrome
• Active urinary tract infection (UTI) or history of recurrent UTIs (more than three in a year), or recurrent vaginitis (bacterial/fungal)
• Tissues protruding outside the vagina at rest
• Presence of incontinence-associated dermatitis or other perineal skin disorders or lesions,
• Complete denervation of the pelvic floor
• Conductive inter-uterine devise (IUD/Coil) or metal implants in the abdominal or pelvic area, including the hip and lumbar spine,
• Chronic coughing
• Previous use of Interstim device or Botox for UI
