UCon Treatment of Overactive Bladder (OAB) in Males
Trial Parameters
Brief Summary
UCon is a medical device for treatment of the symptoms of OAB and fecal incontinence (FI). It electrically stimulates the DGN through the skin to obtain modulated behaviour of the bladder musculature e.g., suppress undesired bladder activity to relieve the symptoms of the patient. This clinical investigation is a randomized, cross-over, single-site, prospective, early feasibility study, which is used to evaluate Ucon with respect to its initial clinical safety and device performance in a small number of males with OAB.
