The evidence base for posterior tibial nerve stimulation in faecal incontinence is reviewed, as well as the implications for practice and further research. While this early evidence base is encouraging, it has yet to be established whether this novel approach may be the minimally invasive, effective...

Electrical stimulation of the posterior tibial nerve will result in a sensory response (tickling sensation in the sole of the foot) as well as a motor response, typically plantar flexion of the big toe or fanning of all toes. Treatment sessions usually are given weekly with each lasting ...
Aim: To compare the effects of transvaginal electrical stimulation (ES) and posterior tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) in the treatment of overactive bladder syndrome (OAB). Methods: Women applying with symptoms of urgency, frequency, and nocturia with or without incontinence and diagnosed with OAB ...
Middle-latency somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) following median and posterior tibial nerve stimulation were studied in 40 patients with Down's syndrome and in age- and gender-matched healthy controls as well as in middle-aged and aged healthy subjects. In median nerve SEPs, latencies of ...

Tibial nerve stimulation (TNS) is one of the neuromodulation methods used to treat an overactive bladder (OAB). However, the treatment mechanism is not accurately understood owing to significant differences in the results obtained from animal and clinical studies. Thus, this study was aimed to con...
NEUROSTIMULATION OF THE MEDIAL PLANTAR NERVE • Plantar flexion of all toes except the great toe. A very important point to note, as mentioned previously, is isolated plantar flexion of the great toe represents direct stimulation of the musculotendinous flexor hallucis longus. Using plantar flexion...
The effect of stimulus intensity on subcortical and cortical somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) to posterior tibial nerve (PTN) stimulation were studied in 16 normal controls. Stimulus intensity was evaluated as a function of sensory threshold (S). Motor threshold (M) varied between 1 S and ...
