Efficacy of Different Electrical Stimulation Placement in Patients With Overactive Bladder Syndrome

Randomized,Single-Blind Controlled Trial

This experiment is expected to understand the benefits of different settings of electrical stimulation in the treatment of overactive bladder.

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.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Urinary incontinence due to detrusor overactivity
• No patients had been taking anticholinergics or tricyclic depressants and none had been treated by pelvic floor exercise, bladder training, or pelvic surgery before entry into the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

• stress incontinence
• urinary tract infection
• neurological disease
• genital prolapse higher than stage II on POP-Q system
• pregnancy
• diabetes mellitus
• a history of anti-incontinence surgery and/or prolapse repair
• pelvic tumors and previously treated with radiation therapy or antimuscarinic agents
• patients who were not cooperative
