What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness of the Axonics SNM System in treating overactive bladder in male patients who have previously undergone prostate surgery or radiation therapy. The study focuses on assessing clinical outcomes post-market for participants diagnosed with urinary urgency incontinence. Eligible patients will be monitored for up to one year, completing bladder diaries and questionnaires to track their progress. The trial aims to provide insights into the long-term benefits and safety of this neuromodulation approach.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are men aged 18 and older with a history of prostatectomy or radiation therapy for prostate cancer, or cytoreductive surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Not a fit: Patients who have had recent prostate therapy or those with neurological conditions affecting bladder function may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could significantly improve bladder control and quality of life for men suffering from overactive bladder.

How similar studies have performed: Previous studies on sacral neuromodulation have shown promising results, indicating potential for success in this approach.
