NCT ID NCT06885931
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a small, implanted device that stimulates the pudendal nerve to help control bladder function in women with mixed urinary incontinence (both stress and urge leaks). The device is personalized and adapts to each person's needs. Researchers will check if the procedure is safe and if it improves symptoms like leakage and urgency.

- Active substance
- implanted pudendal neuromodulation device (Picostim II system)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a new, personalized treatment option for people with mixed urinary incontinence who haven't been helped by other therapies.
