Brief summary

The purpose of this clinical trial is to investigate a new medical device treatment for Overactive Bladder (OAB) in women.

Detailed description

The FemPulse System is a vaginal ring intended to provide mild electrical stimulation to nerves in the lower abdomen that regulate bladder function. It is believed that stimulation of these nerves may help relieve the symptoms of OAB.
