by Elana Gotkine For women with overactive bladder (OAB), percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) is associated with improvement of symptoms, according to a study published online May 16 in theJournal of Clinical Medicine. Ad Connor McPhail, from FBW Gynaecology Plus in Adelaide, Australia,...

The aim of this study was to assess safety and efficacy in neurological patients. Methods In this prospective evaluation over 18 months at a tertiary ce...
As a result, stimulating the posterior tibial nerve, known as retrograde stimulation, has an inhibitory effect on the bladder’s detrusor muscle [5, 6]. The mechanism of tibial nerve stimulation’s operation was previously discussed. This technique addresses the OAB syndrome at the sacral level,...

Transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (T-PTNS) is effective in the treatment of OAB in older women [6]. T-PTNS and P-PTNS, displayed similar clinical effectiveness, albeit with minor differences: T-PTNS required less preparation time, resulted in lower levels of discomfort, and led to higher...
In 1990, Stoller and colleagues adjusted this method and described the Stoller Afferent Nerve Stimulation(SANS) for the treatment of overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome via percutaneous stimulation of the posteriortibial nerve (PTNS); they observed at least a 50% improvement in symptoms in 80% of ...
Two forms of tibial nerve stimulation are used to treat faecal incontinence (FI): percutaneous (PTNS) and transcutaneous (TTNS) tibial nerve stimulation. This article critically appraises the literature on both procedures. Methods A systematic review was performed adhering to the PRISMA framework. A...
Sacral neuromodulation has become an established treatment for fecal incontinence unresponsive to conservative measures. However, it requires surgical implantation and is expensive. Percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) has been suggested as a minimally invasive and less expensive alternative on the ...
