Summary

This study is checking how well the Altaviva™ device works over five years for people with sudden, strong urges to urinate (urge incontinence). The device sends mild electrical pulses to a nerve in the ankle to calm bladder signals. Researchers will track 256 adults to see if at least half of them get a 50% or greater reduction in leakage episodes each year.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Altaviva™ system (implantable neurostimulation device)
What this could lead to: If successful, this could confirm a durable, long-term treatment option for people with urge urinary incontinence who do not respond well to medication.
What could go wrong: This is an observational post-approval study, not a randomized controlled trial. Results may be influenced by patient selection and lack of a control group. Device-related risks include infection, discomfort, or need for removal.
