Randomized, Sham-Controlled, Double-Blind Trial of the Intibia System in Urge Urinary Incontinence: Quality-of-Life Outcomes

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to evaluate the impact of the Intibia System, an implantable tibial nerve stimulation device, on quality of life (QoL) in patients with urge urinary incontinence (UUI) compared to a sham control. The study found that patients receiving the Intibia treatment reported significantly greater improvements in QoL measures at both 3 and 12 months post-implant, indicating the device's effectiveness in enhancing patient-reported outcomes related to UUI.
