A Randomized Trial of Transcutaneous Nerve Stimulation for Overactive Bladder Patients
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation and Sham transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation for Overactive Bladder. Completed, enrolled 20 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Overactive bladder causes urinary frequency, urgency and in some cases urgency incontinence. This study is testing the efficacy of transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (using skin patch electrodes via a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) machine) for the treatment of women with clinical symptoms of overactive bladder.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Patch electrodes applied posterior to the medial malleolus, and 5-10 cm above the medial malleolus of the same leg, just behind the medial tibial edge. Bipolar stimulation setting will be used, with a frequency of 10 Hz, 200ms pulse, and the amplitude will be titrated up to patient's maximum nonpainful tolerance (between 0.5-10mA). This will be done by the patients at home 3x/week for 30 minutes, over 12 weeks.
Patch electrodes applied posterior to the lateral malleolus, and 5-10 cm above the lateral malleolus of the same leg. Bipolar stimulation setting will be used, with a frequency of 10 Hz, 200ms pulse, and the amplitude will be set a 1mA. This will be done by the patients at home 3x/week for 30 minutes, over 12 weeks.
