Summary

Obstructed defecation syndrome (ODS) is a common functional bowel disorder characterized by difficulty in stool evacuation. Bilateral posterior tibial nerve stimulation (BT PTNS) has emerged as a noninvasive, safe, and effective therapeutic option for functional ODS, improving symptom severity and quality of life.

Conditions

  • Obstructed Defecation

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Bilateral posterior tibial nerve stimulation

* Procedure: BT PTNS will be administered via transcutaneous electrodes placed bilaterally along the posterior tibial nerve at the medial malleolus. * Frequency: 3 sessions per week for 6 weeks (total of 18 sessions). * Duration per Session: 30 minutes. * Monitoring: Patients will be monitored for adverse events during and after each session.
