WHAT IS THE ELITE STUDY?

The ELITE study is a research study (also known as a clinical trial) for people experiencing bladder or bowel control issues, specifically overactive bladder (OAB), urinary retention, or fecal incontinence. This study is designed to better understand an FDA-approved treatment called the InterStim™ Micro system. The InterStim™ Micro system delivers sacral neuromodulation, or SNM, is a fully implantable advanced therapy option that may help reduce bothersome bladder or bowel symptoms.
