Peripheral Tibial Nerve Stimulation for Overactive Bladder Syndrome: Treatment Success and Patient Satisfaction
Objective:
To evaluate the success rate and patient satisfaction ofperipheral tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) therapy.
Method:
Retrospective cohort study assessing PTNS treatment success and patient satisfaction.
Results:
Data from 34 women were included. On average, patients were 70.2 (± 12) years of age, had a BMI of 29.9 (± 8.9) kg/M², and traveled 11.2 (± 12.3) miles to receive weekly PTNS treatments. Overall, 22 patients (64.7%) were satisfied, four (11.8%) unsatisfied, and eight (23.5%) undecided. Those who were satisfied completed an average of 10.9 treatments (± 2.4), those who were unsatisfied completed an average of 9.5 treatments (± 2.6), and those left undecided completed an average of 7.2 treatments (± 4.3). The fourth treatment visit was the most likely to predict whether a patient would be satisfied or unsatisfied by the 12th treatment.
Conclusion:
Overall the success of the PTNS therapy was 64.7%, consistent with previous studies. Most patients note improvement after the fourth treatment.
