Transcutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation for Urgency Urinary Incontinence
Status unconfirmed · Not applicable · Has a placebo group
Conditions studied: Urge Incontinence, Overactive Bladder
In brief
This is a single-center, double-blinded, randomized controlled trial evaluating the efficacy of TTNS versus a sham intervention. Both interventions will be performed by participants in their homes after standardized instruction. The primary outcome is a comparison of the mean change in OAB-q scores before and after treatment between the intervention and control groups. Changes in the number of urgency incontinence episodes and an estimation of cost effectiveness will additionally be measured. Intention to treat analysis will be performed.
