Summary

This trial tests if an at-home electrical stimulation device can help women with overactive bladder who haven't responded to other treatments. The device sends gentle electrical pulses to the pelvic area to strengthen muscles and reduce symptoms. Women will use the device for a few weeks, take a break, and then try a second program, with their symptoms monitored throughout.

Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Customizable AmplitudeExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
In this arm, the participant will set the frequency to 12 Hz and pulse duration to 1 millisecond. The participant will be instructed to increase the amplitude gradually and set it at the maximal tolerable amplitude. This stimulation will last 15 minutes and patients will be instructed to perform the at-home therapy once per day.
Group II: Set AmplitudeActive Control1 Intervention
This arm is to test a specific amplitude. Participants will be instructed to set the amplitude to 20 mA, frequency to 20 Hz, and pulse duration to 5 mS. The parameters will stay the same for the entire session. This stimulation will last 15 minutes and patients will be instructed to perform the at-home therapy once per day.
