PTNS in the treatment for faecal incontinence: Preliminary results of a multicentric vs control studyBackground: Peripheral neuromodulation via posterior tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) is considered therapeutic in urinary incontinence. Recently, studies have shown improvement in patients with faecal ...
Posterior Tibial Nerve Stimulation for the Treatment of Fecal Incontinence: A Systematic Evidence Review Importance and ObjectivesPosterior tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) is a potential emerging therapy for fecal incontinence (FI). The aim of this study was to systematically review the literature regardi...
Percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (pTNS) was originally developed to treat urinary incontinence. Recently, some case series have also documented its success in the treatment of fecal incontinence. Nevertheless, the mechanism underlying this effect remains unknown but may be related to changes in ...
Sacral neuromodulation is an effective treatment for refractory urge urinary incontinence, frequency, and urgency. Post pulse generator (IPG) adverse events requiring revision or explantation are typically pain, loss of response, and infection. We report a case of trauma-induced soft tissue injury ...
Treatment success was defined by subjective improvement according to patient self-report and objective bladder diary parameters including the intervoiding interval, nocturia episodes and urgency urinary incontinence (UUI) episodes per day, before and after PTNS treatment. Baseline symptoms were dichotomized...
OAB has significant economic impact, with first-line therapies (behavioral modification and anticholinergics) showing poor compliance due to significant side effects, treatment failures, and high costs. Surgical interventions for OAB result in significant perioperative and long-term morbidity. Percutaneous ...

Baseline symptoms were dichotomized...
Studies demonstrate that PTNS is safe with statistically significant improvements in the clinical assessment of overactive bladder (OAB) (urge incontinence) and may be considered a clinically significant alternative to failed pharmacotherapy. Treatment regimens consist of 30-minuteweekly sessions for 12 ...

After treatment, the mean quality of life in both groups increased significantly compared to before the intervention, but this increase was significantly higher in PTNS when compared with other group (74.2卤6.9 vs. 68.9卤 7.3). The mean OABSS score, OAB screening score and urinary incontinence ...
