Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Pilot 1: Bladder function measured during a urodynamic assessment between day 7 and 14 at each of the following stimulation frequencies 5, 14 and 130Hz (the assessment will include four filling phases). Parameters include: capacity (ml), compliance (ml/cmH2O), detrusor overactivity peak pressure and onset (cmH2O and ml respectively), voided volume (ml), detrusor pressure at peak flowrate, Pdet.Qmax (cmH2O), maximum flowrate, Qmax (ml/s), post void residual (ml). Pilot 2: Bladder function parameters measured during urodynamic assessments on day 4, 9 and 14 at a different stimulation frequency (5, 14 or 130Hz). Parameters include: capacity (ml), compliance (ml/cmH2O), detrusor overactivity peak pressure and onset (cmH2O and ml respectively), voided volume (ml), detrusor pressure at peak flowrate, Pdet.Qmax (cmH2O), maximum flowrate, Qmax (ml/s), post void residual (ml). Pilot 3: Uroflowmetry parameters measured using the Minze HomeFlow device throughout the two week trial. Parameters include voided volume (ml), maximum flow rate (ml/s), average flow rate (ml/s) and shape of flow.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Pilot 1 and 2: -Bladder diary parameters recorded during the two week trial. Parameters include voided volume (ml), number of voids /day and number of incontinence episodes / day. -Patients subjective response to treatment measured using the ICIQ-OAB questionnaire on day 4, 9 and 14. Pilot 3: -Patients subjective response to treatment measured using the ICIQ-FLUTS questionnaire on day 4, 9 and 14.
