简要总结

The investigator hypothesizes that controlled delivery of low heat (45-50 Centigrade) to the sub-detrusor and detrusor muscle can ablate the autonomic nerve endings and control overactive bladder symptoms without causing significant damage to the surrounding structures. Low heat in such a manner is below urethral sensation and enables office treatment. The transvaginal approach is non-invasive and improves overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms and patients' quality of life. The investigator believes that the RF administration results could be equal or better for first-line treated patients compared to pharmacological refractory patients.
