About

This study was designed to assess the efficacy of trans cutaneous tibial nerve stimulation on symptoms of overactive bladder in women with idiopathic overactive bladder

Full description

Idiopathic overactive bladder is defined the presence of a sense of urgency with or without accompanying urinary incontinence without an organic pathology or urinary infection. Its prevalence was reported to be between 7.7 to 31 % in women. In this prospective randomized controlled study, we aim to assess the efficacy of trans cutaneous tibial nerve stimulation on symptoms of overactive bladder in women with idiopathic overactive bladder.

Enrollment: 26 estimated patients

Sex: Female

Ages: 18 to 70 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

26 participants in 2 patient groups

Transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation plus bladder training

Experimental group

Description:

Patients will receive transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation for 30 minutes, twice a week, for 6 weeks. Application will be done in an outpatient setting, using disposable surface electrodes.

Treatment:

Device: Transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation

Behavioral: Bladder training

Bladder training

Other group

Description:

patients will receive only the routine education program that is given to every patient with idiopathic overactive bladder syndrome. This includes education about the anatomy of the urinary system, patient motivation, and frequent bathroom visits in order to avoid incontinence with gradual increase between each visit to the bathroom.

Treatment:

Behavioral: Bladder training
