Why did patients apply to this trial?

Chronic urinary retention began self catherization about 6 months ago due to infection. Continue self cath about 3x/day. Presently infection free. Had been able to void previous to infection, but apparently not completely emptying my bladder. Hoping to stimulate detrusser muscle to empty more efficiently.
PatientReceived 2+ prior treatments
