  • METHODS FOR TREATING URINARY STRESS INCONTINENCE
    Publication number: 20230321435
    Abstract: Methods for treating urinary stress incontinence by non-invasively delivering energy to one or more submucosal regions of vaginal tissue to induce remodeling within the vaginal tissue are provided. In some embodiments, the energy delivery results in heating of the target tissue to a temperature that ranges from about 38° C. to about 46° C. In some embodiments, the subject methods involve cooling a mucosal epithelial layer over the vaginal tissue. In some embodiments, a reverse thermal gradient is produced as the mucosal epithelium is cooled while energy is delivered to the underlying vaginal tissue.

  • THERAPEUTIC METHODS FOR TREATING TISSUE
    Publication number: 20220151826
    Abstract: A method for treating urinary stress incontinence. The method includes non-invasively cooling target tissue during a first cooling step, a non-cooling step, and non-invasively cooling the target tissue in a second cooling step. The first cooling step, the non-cooling step, and the second cooling step are performed at predetermined temperatures for a predetermined period of time.
