Summary

Our study is the first prospective randomized controlled trial that compares the effectiveness of transcutaneous medial plantar nerve stimulation (T-MPNS) and transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS) added to bladder training (BT) in women with idiopathic overactive bladder (OAB). İn this study, we aimed to assess the efficacy of T-MPNS and TTNS added to BT on quality of life (QoL) and clinical parameters asssociated with idiopathic OAB. In addition, preparation time for stimulation, treatment satisfaction and discomfort levels of the patients were evaluated. The main questions we aim to answer are: Is T-MPNS as effective as TTNS in the treatment of idiopathic OAB? For this purpose, we planned to compare transcutaneous applications of the tibial and plantar medial nerve in women with idiopathic OAB. 60 women with OAB will be randomized to 3 groups by using random number generator: BT program alone to Group 1 (n=20), BT plus T-MPNS to Group 2 (n=20), BT plus TTNS to Group 3 (n=20) will be applied.

Conditions

• Urinary Bladder, Overactive

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Transcutaneous MPN stimulation (T-MPNS)	Transcutaneous MPN stimulation (T-MPNS) is the electrostimulation of the lumbosacral roots that produce an activation of the lumbosacral plexus that controls the visceral organs and the pelvic floor muscles, thereby improving bladder control.
OTHER	Transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS)	Transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS) is the electrostimulation of the lumbosacral roots that produce an activation of the lumbosacral plexus that controls the visceral organs and the pelvic floor muscles, thereby improving bladder control.
OTHER	BT (Control group)	Conventional bladder training
