NCT ID NCT06885931

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

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.

What this could mean

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

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.
What could go wrong
This is an early feasibility study with only 86 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The device requires surgery and carries risks like infection or device-related problems.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Female. NB: the definition of female refers to sex at birth. * Adult: aged ≥ 22 years (at the time of informed consent signature). * Patient self-reports both stress and urge episodes (clinician-opinion on history taking). * Patient has failed to respond to or could not tolerate conservative treatment as determined by the treating health care provider. * Duration of urinary incontinence symptom ≥ 6 months prior to the screening baseline visit date. * Able and willing to voluntarily sign informed consent form. * Able to participate in all testing and follow-up clinic visits associated with study protocol. * Patient is mobile and able to use a toilet. * In the opinion of the Investigator, the patient is capable of independently using the system components (after training). Exclusion Criteria: * Patient is pregnant, breastfeeding, or plans to become pregnant at any time in the future. * Patient is unwilling or unable to use contraception during sexual intercourse for the duration of the study. * In the event that patient becomes pregnant during or after the study, they are not prepared to inactivate device for the whole period of the pregnancy. * Any significant medical condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, is likely to interfere with study procedures, device operation, or likely to confound evaluation of study endpoints. * History of major psychiatric or personality disorder. * Any neurological condition that in the opinion of the investigator may interfere with normal bladder function (e.g., stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, clinically significant peripheral neuropathy, or complete spinal cord injury). * Uncontrolled type I or type II diabetes (as defined by their routine care clinician or HBA1C ≥ 7.0). * History of cancer within 5 years prior to enrolment, except for a cancer that was determined to be free of systemic cancer risk, such as basal cell carcinoma. * Patient is taking antiplatelet and/or anticoagulant drugs including warfarin or newer alternatives (e.g., rivaroxaban, apixaban, dabigatran, edoxaban) which cannot be paused prior to surgery, or has a bleeding disorder that cannot be corrected prior to surgery. * Any clinical reason that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may compromise patient's safety during the study. * Currently participating in another interventional study. This excepts purely observational studies, e.g., registries. * Patient participation in vigorous physical activities where these cannot be restricted for a period of 6 weeks post-implantation. * Patient unwilling to stop any future participation in scuba diving below 10m. BMI ≥ 40kg/m2 or waist circumference \> 127cm * Documented history of allergic response to titanium, zirconia, polyurethane, epoxy, or silicone. * Skin, orthopedic or neurological anatomical limitations at the site of implant that could prevent successful placement of an electrode or IPG. This includes active perineal sepsis or perianal sepsis (e.g., anal fistula and pilonidal sinus). * Knowledge of planned MRIs, diathermy, medical microwave exposure, high output ultrasonic exposure, or medical RF energy exposure. * Implantable neurostimulator or antennae, pacemaker or defibrillator in-situ (anywhere in body). Exclusion Criteria (Urological): * Known diagnosis of interstitial cystitis or bladder pain syndrome as defined by either AUA or EAU guidelines. Diagnosis of any other chronic pelvic or regional pain syndrome * Documented bladder emptying syndrome including neurogenic bladder. * Known abnormal post void residual (\> 100 ml). * Any prolapse (symptomatic or asymptomatic) currently at or below the hymenal level Known urinary tract mechanical obstruction such as urethral stricture and/or bladder neck contracture. * Current symptomatic urinary tract infection (UTI) or more than 3 culture-proven UTIs in past year. * Current diagnosis of vesicoureteral reflux * Current diagnosis of bladder stones * History of bladder tumour (benign or malignant) -Suspected or proven pudendal nerve entrapment syndrome. In patients with co- existent chronic pelvic pain and urinary incontinence symptoms, Nantes criteria will be used for screening. Patients meeting essential criteria will be excluded from the study. * Suspected or proven severe pudendal nerve damage at discretion of clinician with or without specialist investigations * Any previous experience of pudendal nerve stimulation using an implanted lead. * Previous failure of SNM therapy (based on implantation; failed test phase is not an exclusion) * Major previous urethral or bladder surgery (excisional or reconstructive) at discretion of investigator * SUI surgery e.g. urethral slings, tapes, and bulking agents colposuspension within last 2 years; \> 2 years at discretion of investigator * Prolapse surgery e.g. colposuspension / colporrhaphy within last 12 months with current confirmation via pelvic exam of no recurrence \> or = to Stage 2 pelvic organ prolapse * Previous use of bladder botox injections within last 6 months
