INTRODUCTION: The electrical stimulation of the tibial nerve is a conservative, effective and low cost therapy, which promotes good results in improving symptoms of Overactive Bladder (OAB).
OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy of electrical stimulation of the tibial nerve protocols for physical therapy for non-neurogenic OAB.
METHODOLOGY: blinded randomized clinical trial which involved 131 women with OAB, randomized into five different groups.
RESULTS:
Urinary Frequency
Nocturia
Urgency
Incontinence
2x/week-1 leg BETTER than
1x / week-two legs.
1x/week-1 leg BETTER than placebo AND 2x/week-1 leg.
1x/week-1 leg BETTER than placebo.
1x/week-1 leg BETTER than placebo AND 1x/week-2 legs AND 2x/week-2 legs.
Placebo BETTER than 1x/week-2 legs.
2x/week-2 legs BETTER than placebo AND 2x/week-1 leg.
