Group B (Time limited and Urge)
The participant self-administer electrical stimulation to the dorsal genital nerve (DGN) using UCon with a stimulation mode that is activated for 60 seconds by the participant when he experience urgency (urge stimulation).The urge stimulation can be activated repeatedly during the day as the participant wears the device from morning to evening at home for 14 days. Following a stimulation wash-out period (14 days), the participants then stimulates with UCon for another 14 days using the time limited stimulation mode.
The participant self-administer electrical stimulation to the dorsal genital nerve (DGN) using UCon with a stimulation mode that is activated for 30 minutes once a day, at a time that is convenient for the particiant. The participant uses the device at home for 14 days. Following a stimulation wash-out period (14 days), the participant then stimulates with UCon for another 14 days using the urge stimulation mode.
