WASHINGTON -- An investigational implantable tibial nerve stimulation (ITNS) device was associated with improved quality of life in patients with urgency urinary incontinence, commonly known as overactive bladder (OAB), data from a randomized trial showed.
More patients in the device group reported feeling "much better" or "very much better" on the Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I) scale compared with a sham control arm after 3 months (29.2% vs 13.4%, P=0.0133), reported Catherine Matthews, MD, of the Wake Forest University School of Medicine in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, at the American Urological Association annual meeting.
