Secondary outcome measures Diary review • Change in urge associated leakage episode/24 hours from baseline. • Change in bladder capacity (indirectly measured from the voided volumes). • Change in leakage severity reported at each follow up • Change in urge episodes (urgency without leakage) Questionnaire Measures • Change in the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire score (ICIQ-SF) • Change in Patient Global Impression of Severity and Improvement Scores | — |
