: The Overactive Bladder (OAB) is a common disorder that imposes a psychological and economic burden and reduces the quality of life. Oral medications have some problems in the frontline of treatment. Transcutaneous posterior Tibial Nerve Stimulation (TTNS) is available with minimum invasion and at a lower cost. Urodynamic tests are invasive and will be more difficult for children to perform than adults. The present study used the Persian version of the overactive bladder symptoms scale (OABSS) and 24hours Voiding Diary questionnaire to assess the symptoms following the treatment. A 7-year-old girl with complaints about OAB was treated with TTNS treatment for 12 sessions in alternate days. The patch electrodes were applied instead of needle and plate electrodes. The results showed that the case improved immediately after treatment from severe stage to average stage according to OABSS. One month following the end of treatment, the results showed improving scores to the mild stage. The TTNS method was a good, safe, non-invasive, and long-term treatment for this child based on 12 sessions using patch electrodes.

Abstract Background To assess the efficacy and durability of percutaneous posterior tibial nerve stimulation for the treatment of the overactive bladder in children. Results Twenty patients with a mean age of 7 ± 3.3 years were included in the study. Subjective success was found in 12 patients (60%) who considered their situation to be better and requested to continue therapy to maintain the response which was considered as a therapeutic success, while eight patients (40%) patients chose not to continue therapy because they did not have symptomatic improvement. Conclusion Posterior tibial nerve stimulation is an effective, minimally invasive method for treatment and is easily applied to induce improvement in overactive bladder symptoms and objective urodynamic changes with negligible side effects.

AbstractThe ideal treatment for overactive bladder is still elusive. In those where medication fails to improve symptoms options include invasive treatments such as botulinum toxin-A, sacral neural stimulation or posterior tibial nerve stimulation. Scientific professional society guidelines advise percutaneous posterior tibial nerve stimulation as a third line treatment option only after multi-disciplinary team review as well as failure of both conservative and pharmacological management. The aim of this article is to review all techniques for tibial nerve stimulation and their efficacy.
