About
The purpose of this study is to determine if Transcutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is as effective as Percutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation (PTNS) as therapeutic option for subjects with Idiopathic Overactive Bladder (OAB) who have failed conventional therapy.
Full description
Both therapies have been proven to be effective, but very few times have been compared. PTNS and TENS SNS have been proven effective modifying bladder diary scores (change in the frequency of day and night urination, and urge incontinence), and improving subject's quality of life. Only PTNS has shown changes in urodynamic data while undergoing therapy.
The investigators hypothesize that short-term effectiveness and benefit reported, is not lower in the TENS group, if we compare both therapies in a randomized control trial.
Secondary goals are to evaluate changes in bladder diary scores (frequency of urination, nocturia, number of urgency and leakage episodes ), participants quality of life improvement scores and treatment benefit score at TBS scale, while undergoing these therapies.
