Efficacy of percutaneous and transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation in women with idiopathic overactive bladder: A prospective randomised controlled trial

Rafet Sonmez et al.

Summary: This study compared the efficacy of percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) and transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS) added to bladder training (BT) in women with idiopathic overactive bladder (OAB). Both PTNS and TTNS were found to be more effective than BT alone, with TTNS showing advantages of shorter preparation time, lower discomfort level, and higher patient satisfaction.

Effect of Exercise on Fatigue in Multiple Sclerosis: A Network Meta-analysis Comparing Different Types of Exercise

Ana Torres-Costoso et al.

Summary: This study conducted a network meta-analysis to determine the positive influence of physical exercise on multiple sclerosis fatigue, with combined exercise and resistance training showing the most significant effects on fatigue improvement, particularly in physical and total fatigue. Exercise should be considered an effective strategy in managing fatigue among individuals with MS.

Efficacy and safety of transcranial direct current stimulation for post-stroke spasticity: A meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials

Jiapeng Huang et al.

Summary: Anodal transcranial direct current stimulation, especially when combined with other therapies and applied for more than 20 minutes, is effective in improving upper limb post-stroke spasticity. Transcranial direct current stimulation is superior to control treatments for subacute and chronic stroke patients under 60. Further high-quality studies are needed to assess its long-term efficacy and safety.

Parasacral versus tibial transcutaneous electrical stimulation to treat urinary urgency in adult women: Randomized controlled clinical trial

Juliana Falcao Padilha et al.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of parasacral and tibial nerve transcutaneous electrical stimulation in improving urinary urgency in adult women. Both groups showed positive effects in reducing urinary urgency, with the parasacral group demonstrating superiority in certain outcomes. Transcutaneous parasacral electrostimulation was found to be superior to tibial electrostimulation in terms of quality of life.

Transcutaneous tibial nerve home stimulation for overactive bladder in women with Parkinson's disease: A randomized clinical trial

Tatiane G. Araujo et al.

Summary: This study investigated the efficacy of transcutaneous tibial nerve home stimulation for overactive bladder in women with Parkinson's disease. The stimulation group showed significant improvements in nighttime urinary frequency, urinary urgency, urgency incontinence episodes, pad usage, OAB-V8 and King's Health Questionnaire scores. Additionally, a significant number of patients in the stimulation group reported maintenance of symptom relief after discontinuation of the intervention in the 30-day and 90-day follow-ups.

Percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation versus sham efficacy in the treatment of refractory overactive bladder: outcomes following a shortened 6-week protocol, a prospective randomized controlled trial

A. M. Lashin et al.

Summary: This study compared the efficacy of percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation with sham therapy for refractory OAB in non-neurogenic adult patients using a shortened 6-week treatment protocol. The results showed that PTNS therapy was more successful and effective than sham therapy, with a 52% success rate following the shortened 6-week protocol. PTNS treatment was also found to be safe and cost-effective compared to the conventional 12-week treatment.

Efficacy of intravaginal electrical stimulation added to bladder raining in women with idiopathic overactive bladder: A prospective randomized controlled trial

Necmettin Yildiz et al.

Summary: The study found that adding intravaginal electrical stimulation (IVES) to bladder training (BT) significantly improved incontinence-related quality of life and clinical parameters in women with idiopathic overactive bladder (OAB). Treatment satisfaction, cure/improvement rate, and positive response rate were significantly higher in the BT+IVES group compared to the BT group.

Neuroprotection by Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation in Rodent Models of Focal Ischemic Stroke: A Meta-Analysis

Jiapeng Huang et al.

Summary: This systematic review evaluated the effects of different tDCS paradigms in reducing infarct size and improving neurological deficit in rodent models of ischemic stroke. The results suggest that cathodal tDCS may be a promising avenue for rehabilitation from focal ischemic stroke, but caution should be taken due to the low overall quality of included studies. Future research is needed to investigate the mechanism of tDCS in clinically relevant stroke models and find an optimal treatment protocol.

Comparison of transcutaneous electrical tibial nerve stimulation for the treatment of overactive bladder: a multi-arm randomized controlled trial with blinded assessment

Munick Linhares Pierre et al.

Summary: The study found that single-leg stimulation improved urinary frequency, urgency, and incontinence, while two-leg stimulation once a week improved nocturia. Two-leg stimulation twice a week was more effective in reducing nocturia compared to single-leg stimulation twice a week.

Patient-reported outcomes in the setting of a randomized control trial on the efficacy of transcutaneous stimulation of the posterior tibial nerve compared to percutaneous stimulation in idiopathic overactive bladder syndrome

Ines Ramirez-Garcia et al.

Summary: The study aimed to compare the efficacy of TTNS and PTNS in treating symptoms associated with OAB, with both treatments showing significant improvement in QoL but no statistically significant differences between the two groups in patient-reported outcomes measures. The findings suggest that TTNS, due to its ease of application and less invasiveness, may be increasingly used for OAB treatment.
