Wireless tibial neurostimulation devices that are implanted to treat urinaryincontinence appear to be effective at reducing the urge to void, according to new findings presented at AUA23
Study investigator Roger Dmochowski, MD, MMHC, professor of urology and surgery and associate surgeon-in-chief at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee, and consulting chief medical officer at BlueWind Medical, said the first-line treatment of urinary incontinence is lifestyle changes to retrain the bladder or physical therapy, including pelvic floor and Kegel exercises, per. He said the success rate is about 30% and is not sustained.
Because urge urinary incontinence is a chronic condition,"treatment with the BlueWind System will be ongoing, with frequency determined based on the patient’s response," Dmochowski said."The patient is then empowered to control when and where they perform therapy." Only one implanted tibial neuromodulation device has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration — eCOIN . The RENOVA iStim is an investigational device under review by the FDA, Dmochowski said.
