Flyte Device for Urinary Incontinence in Cancer Survivors

This trial tests the Flyte device, designed to help endometrial and cervical cancer survivors improve bladder control at home. Many individuals experience urinary incontinence after radiation therapy, which can disrupt daily life. The Flyte device uses vibrations during Kegel exercises to strengthen pelvic muscles and may improve symptoms. Those who underwent radiation therapy for these cancers at least three months ago and struggle with bladder control might be suitable for this trial. Participants will either use the Flyte device or receive traditional pelvic floor therapy and education on Kegel exercises. As an unphased trial, this study offers participants the chance to explore innovative solutions for enhancing their quality of life.

Research has shown that the Flyte device is generally safe to use. The FDA has cleared it, confirming it meets specific safety standards. One study found that 71% of participants controlled their bladder within two to 12 weeks of using the Flyte device. Participants reported no major safety issues, indicating the device is well-tolerated. The device uses gentle vibrations to strengthen pelvic muscles, improving bladder control without causing significant side effects.¹²³⁴⁵

Most treatments for urinary incontinence in cancer survivors often involve pelvic floor exercises or physical therapy. However, the Flyte Device is unique because it offers a new, convenient delivery method by incorporating a daily 5-minute session during Kegel exercises. Researchers are excited about this approach because it simplifies the treatment process and can be done at home, potentially increasing adherence and effectiveness. Unlike traditional methods that require in-person therapy sessions, the Flyte Device provides an innovative way to support pelvic floor strengthening, which could lead to improved outcomes for users.

Research has shown that the Flyte device, which participants in this trial may use, helps improve urinary incontinence. In studies, 71% of users became dry or almost dry within 6 to 12 weeks. It also reduced urine leakage over time. The Flyte device sends vibrations during Kegel exercises, strengthening the pelvic floor muscles. This method has improved symptoms and quality of life for endometrial and cervical cancer survivors who have undergone radiation therapy.¹⁵⁶⁷⁸
