Transcutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation for Idiopathic Overactive Bladder

The Efficacy of Transcutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation on Symptoms of Overactive Bladder and Quality of Life in Women With Idiopathic Overactive Bladder

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

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.

• Post voiding residue levels less than 100 ml.
• Women aged between 18-70
