Summary

Aim: To compare the effects of parasacral transcutaneous electrical stimulation with transcutaneous posterior tibial nerve stimulation on the symptoms of Overactive Bladder in women. Study's hypothesis: The use of the parasacral transcutaneous electrical stimulation technique presents better results regarding the remission of overactive bladder symptoms in relation to transcutaneous posterior tibial nerve stimulation.

Detailed description

Search location: The data will collected at the Ambulatory of Urogynecology and Obstetrics of Porto Alegre Clinical Hospital (HCPA), where the activities of Pelvic Physiotherapy are performed Main outcome: to measure changes in urinary urgency and quality of life. Secondary outcome: to measure changes in the severity of urinary incontinence and the symptom bother.

Conditions

• Overactive Bladder
• Urinary Urge Incontinence

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Parasacral Transcutaneous Electrical Stimulation	Electrical stimulation with surface electrodes on the sacral roots of S3 that produce inferior urinary tract neuromodulation.
DEVICE	Transcutaneous Posterior Tibial Nerve Stimulation	Electrical stimulation with surface electrodes through the activation of peripheral afferent nerves that produce inferior urinary tract neuromodulation
