Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if electrical stimulation of the foot is effective in the treatment of overactive bladder conditions.

Detailed description

Foot neuromodulation is designed to treat OAB conditions by electrically stimulating the somatic afferent nerves in the foot using skin surface electrodes. The foot stimulation is non-invasive, can be performed at home, and has no adverse effects. Foot neuromodulation therapy will likely be accepted by more patients and have the potential to make a broader impact on the improvement of OAB conditions.

Conditions

• Overactive Bladder

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Foot stimulation	Foot stimulation electrically activates the somatic afferent nerves in the foot using FDA-approved, commercially available transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator (TENS) and skin surface electrodes attached to the foot.
