Mp65-17 low-frequency transcutaneous electrical stimulation of foot can be a novel home-based treatment for refractory oab

Posterior tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) is a minimally invasive treatment option for refractory overactive bladder (OAB). But frequent hospital visits and its treatment cost may be prohibitive for patients. As a convenient method, we focused on transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). Although TENS of somatic afferents in foot has reportedly inhibited reflex micturition and increased bladder capacity in anesthetized cats as well as healthy humans, its effect in OAB patients is still unknown.
