About this study

This study seeks to examine the response of the bladder to different pudendal nerve stimulation frequencies, by studying patients who have been previously-implanted with pudendal nerve neurostimulators.

Read the detailed description

The pudendal nerve goes to the urethra, anus, and other areas of the pelvic floor. Electrical stimulation of this nerve can help with bladder, bowel, and sexual problems, and pelvic pain. Researchers do not fully understand how the nerve helps with these functions or how the anatomy is different between people. Successful stimulation of the pudendal nerve may help improve medical care for future patients with bladder problems, pelvic pain, bowel problems, and/or sexual problems.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Medtronic Interstim II Model 3058 NeurostimulatorDevice

    Patients will undergo stimulation of the pudendal nerve. All stimulation parameters used will be within the normal hard-coded limits of the implantable pulse generator (IPG).

CystometrogramExperimentalThe bladder will be filled to different volumes and electrical stimulation will be applied to the pudendal nerve via the implanted neurostimulator.
Receives: Device: Medtronic Interstim II Model 3058 Neurostimulator

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Evoked Bladder Contractions of at Least 20 Centimeters of Water (cmH2O) During Cystometrogram

    The results reflects the number of participants who experienced an evoked bladder contraction of at least 20 centimeters of water during stimulation of the pudendal nerve. Bladder contractions were evoked by applying nerve stimulation to the pudendal nerve through testing of the participant's implanted stimulator.

    Measured: Visit 1, approximately 1 week after consent

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Selective Stimulation of Pudendal Nerve Branches

    Selective stimulation of pudendal nerve branches for external urethral sphincter closure determined by comparing sensor recordings from distal pudendal nerve branches.

    The intention was to measure the effect of selective PNS, configured for selective external urethral sphincter stimulation on ULPP, but this selective stimulation for this nerve bundle, as described in the protocol, proved to not be feasible within the experimental sessions. Thus, no data was gathered.

    Measured: 2 hours

  2. Measurement of Effect of Selective Pudendal Nerve Stimulation (PNS) on Urethral Leak Point Pressure (ULPP)

    Measurement of effect of selective PNS on ULPP using PNS configured for external urethral sphincter selectivity.

    The intention was to measure the effect of selective PNS, configured for selective external urethral sphincter stimulation on ULPP, but this selective stimulation for this nerve bundle, as described in the protocol, proved to not be feasible within the experimental sessions. Thus, no data was gathered.

    Measured: 2 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Medtronic Interstim II Model 3058 Neurostimulator in people with Urinary Retention and Underactive Bladder, run by University of Michigan at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Jun 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 3 Jun 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Evoked Bladder Contractions of at Least 20 Centimeters of Water (cmH2O) During Cystometrogram (time frame: Visit 1, approximately 1 week after consent). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Jun 2024.
