Why did patients apply to this trial?

Have been incontinence for 10 years because of a spinal cord injury. I have tried diet restrictions, exercise and intentionally urinating during the day but the issue remains….
PatientReceived no prior treatments
Because I have overactive bladder I was diagnosed with that. I also leak and hate doing that 2-3 times a daily. I've been doing Pelvic Floor therapy for a while and just want something to help strengthen my pelvic floor more permanently. I see Dr. Darlene Gaynor Krupnick at the Lankenau Hospital location Midlantic Urology. And am hoping she will agree with this.
PatientReceived 2+ prior treatments

How much are the payments? How many trips to Los Angeles or how often would I have to be there?
