Summary

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

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Bladder training

Bladder training has 4 components, educating the patient about anatomy, fluid intake control, pelvic floor muscle contractions and increasing the interval between visits to the bathroom

DEVICE

Transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation

A combined electrotherapy device capable of applying transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation will be used. Each session will take 30 minutes. Patient will visit the hospital twice a week for 6 weeks. An electrical current of 0-50 amperes with a frequency of 20 herz, and a duration of 200 micro seconds will be applied using 50x50 mm surface electordes. The aim is to create a tingling sensation without causing any pain on the tibial nerve, at the ankle level.
