    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Urology

    Background:

    • Overactive bladder (OAB) affects millions globally, with limited treatment options.
    • Tibial nerve stimulation (TNS) is a recognized neuromodulation technique for OAB.
    • Conventional TNS often uses transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), which has limitations in deep tissue penetration.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate a novel interferential current therapy (ICT) for tibial nerve stimulation (TNS).
    • To assess ICT's electric field penetration efficiency and physiological effectiveness.
    • To compare ICT-TNS with conventional TENS-TNS.

    Main Methods:

    • In silico simulations to analyze ICT's electric field penetration.
    • In vivo experiments to measure tibial nerve excitation thresholds with ICT.
    • In vivo assessment of ICT-TNS effects on bladder contraction frequency and voiding volume.
    • Comparative analysis against TENS-TNS.

    Main Results:

    • ICT demonstrated higher electric field penetration efficiency than TENS in simulations.
    • In vivo results showed a lower nerve excitation threshold for ICT compared to TENS.
    • ICT-TNS significantly reduced bladder contraction frequency and increased voiding volume more effectively than TENS-TNS.

    Conclusions:

    • Interferential current therapy (ICT) is more efficient in stimulating the deep tibial nerve than conventional TENS.
    • ICT-TNS exhibits significant clinical effectiveness for overactive bladder symptoms.
    • ICT presents a safe and promising noninvasive neurostimulation modality for TNS and other peripheral applications.
