Summary

This study tested a small implant called the BlueWind RENOVA iStim for people with overactive bladder. The device is placed under the skin and sends mild pulses to a nerve that helps control the bladder. The goal was to see if it could reduce sudden, strong urges to urinate and improve daily life. The study included 282 women and tracked results for up to 12 months.
