The aim of our study is a comparison of the effects of external electrical stimulation protocols in women with overactive bladder (OAB).
OAB is a condition defined by the International Continence Society as the presence of urinary urgency, usually accompanied by frequency and nocturia, with or without urgency urinary incontinence, in the absence of urinary tract infection or other obvious pathology. External electrical stimulation has positive effects on OAB. However, there are not enough studies on how often this stimulation is applied. Studies are needed on this subject.
