Brief Summary: This is a prospective randomized sham-controlled study of patients undergoing vaginal treatment with a fractional carbon dioxide (fCO2) laser for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) symptoms. Eligible participants will be randomized (like a flip of a coin) to receive active or sham fCO2 laser treatments. Three treatments with the fCO2 laser or sham to the vagina will be performed, approximately four weeks apart.
Detailed Description: Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a common problem that affects 35-40% of women worldwide. SUI occurs when a woman experiences involuntary leakage of urine with physical activities such as exercise, coughing and sneezing that increases intra-abdominal pressure. Vaginal laser therapy offers a potential novel treatment for SUI, however there is limited scientific evidence to show benefits to treatment. A sham controlled study will further add to the literature and evidence to support or oppose the use of the fCO2 laser for SUI.

The purpose of this study is to compare active therapy to sham treatment to determine if a true benefit to treatment exists. Eligible participants will be randomized 1:1, to receive active or sham fCO2 laser treatments. Three treatments, active or sham, to the vagina will be performed approximately four weeks apart. The primary efficacy endpoint is four weeks after completing all treatments. Treatment durability and safety will be assessed eight weeks after the primary endpoint.
