Full description

This experiment is expected to understand the benefits of different settings of electrical stimulation in the treatment of overactive bladder.The study will adopt a longitudinal research design with randomized quasi-experimental trial.The patients will recruited and be randomly assigned to Group A (Parasacral transcutaneous electrical stimulation) or Group B (Intravaginal electrical stimulation). There will be 30 participants in each group. Data will be collected 2 times.

Enrollment: 30 estimated patients

Sex: Female

Ages: 20+ years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers
