Summary

Urinary symptoms are frequently seen in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Early evaluation of the patients in terms of the urinary system, planning the appropriate treatment and following up at regular intervals are extremely important in terms of preventing urinary system complications. Neuromodulation applications are used reliably in the urological treatment of MS patients. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of different neuromodulation techniques, transcutaneous posterior tibial nerve stimulation and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, in patients with MS reporting lower urinary tract symptoms.

Conditions

  • Neurogenic Bladder Dysfunction

Interventions

DEVICE

Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

The treatment will be internally cooled 70 mm double coil and 110 mm round coil, accompanied by a physiotherapist and neurologist. The coil will be placed on the precentral gyrus. Practices will be held, with each session lasting 20 minutes. Cortical excitability will be provided by high frequency (HF) stimulation (5-Hz).

DEVICE

Transcutaneous Posterior Tibial Nerve Stimulation

The treatment parameters will be applied with a pulse current time of 200 μsec, a fixed frequency of 10 Hz, a treatment time of 20 minutes, and a current intensity that the patient can tolerate, which will not cause flexion in the big toe or fan movement in the other fingers. Self-adhesive surface electrodes will be used for stimulation. During the treatment, the patient will lie on his back. The negative electrode will be placed 2 cm posterior to the medial malleolus and the positive electrode will be placed 10 cm proximal.
