CHICAGO, IL USA (UroToday) - Changes in QoL were assessed as part of a randomized trial involving 147 patients from 38 medical centers (93% were female with a mean age of 58.7 years).
The study showed significant improvement in QoL at six months for patients receiving the Interstim implant versus those receiving standard medical therapy. Of the 51 patients receiving the Interstim implant, nine failed stage 1 of the procedure and 10 chose not to continue with the therapy.
