The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of medium frequency electrotherapy (interferential currents) treatment for overactive bladder (OAB), lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and pelvic pain
This study consists of 100 women, complaining of increased bladder sensation and urgency with or without incontinence as principal symptomatology and who had not received previous pharmacological treatment. Group-A was used as a control group (n = 50). Group-B patients received 18 sessions of medium frequency electrotherapy during 9 weeks, 2 weekly sessions

| Medium frequency electrotherapy (interferential currents) | Other | Treatment with medium frequency electrotherapy, interferential currents between 5500 Hz and 8500 Hz (Combi-200®, Gymna®), was performed using transvaginal application. The frequency was increased progressively over the first six sessions (twice a week), starting with a frequency of 5500 Hz until reaching a frequency of 8500 Hz, which remained until the end of treatment. |

| nocturia | is the complaint that the individual has to wake at night one or more times to void. Measured with 24 hour voiding diary. | 24 hours |
| increased bladder sensation | the individual feels an early and persistent desire to void. Measured with 24 hour voiding diary. | 24 hours |
| feeling of incomplete emptying | is a self-explanatory term for a feeling experienced by the individual after passing urine. Measured with 24 hour voiding diary. | 24 hours |
