Twelve weeks of InTone usage resulted in significant objective and subjective reductions in UI. Device usability was good, with a median SUS of 86.3 and a median expected use of 107 % (33–140 %). After 12 weeks of InTone therapy, median UDI6 and IIQ7 scores improved from 50.0 to 29.2 ( p 50 % reduction in daily pad usage and PWT. Thirty-three women were enrolled five patients withdrew and were excluded. Usability was assessed with a device-usage log and the System Usability Scale (SUS), which evaluates patients’ global impression of usability. Efficacy was assessed by comparing 12-week results to baseline values using chi-square and Wilcoxon rank-sum tests. Patients were assessed at baseline and monthly with symptom questionnaires, bladder diaries. InTone was used 5–6 days a week for 12 weeks. Women with UI (stress, urge, mixed) were recruited for this pilot trial. The purpose of this study was to assess its efficacy and usability for treating urinary incontinence (UI). InTone TM (InControl Medical) is a nonimplanted vaginal device providing biofeedback and electrical stimulation of pelvic floor muscles.
