Study hypothesis
Urge incontinence is caused by overactivity of the detrusor muscle of the urinary bladder. Electrical stimulation of the pelvic floor muscles can suppress detrusor overactivity. The miniaturo™-I system is designed to deliver mild electrical stimulation to the pelvic floor muscles in a minimally invasive way.
