Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| UUI Responder | 6 months | Proportion of TNM subjects experiencing a reduction of 50% or more in daily urinary urge incontinence (UUI) episodes (UUI responder rate) at 6 months after device implant. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| UUI Change From Baseline | 6 months | Change in UUI episodes at 6 months compared to baseline in subjects with UUI at baseline. |
| UF Change From Baseline | 6 months | Change in daily UF episodes at 6 months compared to baseline in subjects with UF at baseline. |
| UPS Change at 6 Months | 6 months | Change in urinary urgency assessed through the UPS at 6 months compared to baseline. The UPS (Urgency Perception Scale) was developed to assess urgency associated with overactive bladder (OAB). The UPS is a single question assessed at each visit and has 3 options for responses: 1, 'I am usually not able to hold urine'; 2, 'I am usually able to hold urine until I reach the toilet if I go immediately'; and 3, 'I am usually able to finish what I am doing before going to the toilet'. Change from baseline is calculated by subtracting the baseline value from the follow-up value. Therefore, the change can range from -2 to 2 (with positive change indicating an improvement). |
| OAB-q Change From Baseline | 6 months | Change in Overactive Bladder Quality of Life Questionnaire (OAB-q) health related quality of life (HRQL) Total Score at 6 months compared to baseline. Details related to OAB-Q HRQL: OAB-q HRQL minimum value total score: 33 OAB-q HRQL maximum value total score:198 A positive change in OAB-q HRQL score represents an improvement. |
