Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation in nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy: a retrospective cohort study
Key Points
To evaluate the impact of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) on bladder function and quality of life in post-nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy (NSRH) patients.
Retrospective cohort study design
Included post-nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy patients
Assessed bladder function, pelvic floor muscle strength, and quality of life after TENS intervention
Significant improvement in bladder function observed
Enhanced pelvic floor muscle strength reported
Quality of life considerably increased after intervention
TENS demonstrated a favorable safety profile
Abstract
TENS would significantly improves bladder function, pelvic floor muscle strength, and QoL in post-NSRH patients with a favourable safety profile, demonstrating substantial clinical value.
