About

The aim of our study is a comparison of the effects of external electrical stimulation protocols in women with overactive bladder (OAB).

Full description

OAB is a condition defined by the International Continence Society as the presence of urinary urgency, usually accompanied by frequency and nocturia, with or without urgency urinary incontinence, in the absence of urinary tract infection or other obvious pathology.
