Comparison of electrical stimulation of the posterior tibial nerve versus oxybutynin versus the combination for treatment of women with overactive bladder

Overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome is a set of symptoms which patients experienced during the storage phase of a micturition cycle. Urgency isthe pivotal symptom of OAB and in all patients is accompanied byincreased frequency and usually by nocturia, with one third of patients being severely bothered by urinary incontinence. In this article we present Prospective and randomized study to verify whether the combination of transcutaneous electrical neural stimulation (TENS) withoxybutynin in the treatment of women with OAB would be more effective than isolated treatments. The results show that the multimodaltreatment was more effective and TENS alone or in association presented longer lasting results for improvement of clinical symptoms of OAB.
