Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Improvement in voiding diaries results between the *standard* frequency (10 Hz) and pulsewidth (210µs) and new settings. Improvement is measured by computer assisted comparison of voiding diaries taken with the *standard* settings and with the new settings and is reflected in percentage improvement achieved | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| * Patient toleration of rate changes. * Difference between optimal settings between patients with either urge symptoms or retention symptoms. | — |
