Extended-course transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation for pediatric overactive bladder: a 6-Month prospective single-arm study

FCFang ChengJWJian WangYXYang Xiao

Key Points

  • The objective is to assess the effects of extended transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS) on symptoms of pediatric overactive bladder.
  • Conducted a 6-month prospective single-arm study.
  • Administered TTNS to participants for 24 weeks.
  • Observed symptom improvements and response rates over the study period.
  • Extended TTNS significantly improved symptoms over 6 months.
  • A substantial number of late responders emerged from the treatment.
  • No loss of efficacy was observed compared to initial treatments.

Abstract

Extending TTNS to 24 weeks was associated with additional symptom improvement and a substantial proportion of late responders without loss of response. Findings suggest that continuing TTNS beyond 12 weeks may be considered for early nonresponders, pending confirmation in randomized, sham-controlled trials.
