Randomized Controlled Trial
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.
To compare the efficacy of transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS) with percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) regarding patient-reported outcomes measures, specifically quality-of-life (QoL) improvement and patient's treatment benefit, on symptoms associated with overactive bladder (OAB). ⋯ A significant improvement of QoL was observed in both TTNS and PTNS groups. However, no patient-reported outcomes measures scores support a difference between the two groups. Therefore, these findings along with TTNS ease of application and less invasiveness may lead to an increased indication of this technique for OAB.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyTranscutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation for Treating Neurogenic Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction: A Pilot Study for an International Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial.
Tibial nerve stimulation (TNS) is an effective and safe treatment for idiopathic lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD), but its value in neurological patients is unclear. ⋯ Transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation is a promising treatment option for neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction, but methodological adjustments in treatment application are required before further prospective studies can be initiated.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Effectiveness of transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation at two different thresholds for overactive bladder symptoms in older women: a randomized controlled clinical trial.
To compare the effectiveness of transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS) at two different current amplitude thresholds (sensory and motor) in terms of urinary habit, symptoms and the degree of discomfort of overactive bladder (OAB) in older women. ⋯ Registro Brasileiros de Ensaios Clínicos (RBR-39DZ5V).

Randomized Controlled Trial
Effect of electroacupuncture on diabetic neurogenic bladder: A randomized controlled trial protocol.
The most common and bothersome lower urinary tract complication of diabetes mellitus is diabetic neurogenic bladder (DNB). Acupuncture has certain advantages in treating bladder dysfunction including urinary retention and incontinence. Therefore, we think that electroacupuncture (EA) may be beneficial to DNB patients. However, it is not clear whether EA combined with basic western medicine could optimize the therapeutic effect for DNB. ⋯ This trial protocol provides an example of the clinical application acupuncture treatment in the management of DNB. This RCT will provide us information on the effect of treating DNB patients with only acupuncture, western medicine therapy (ALA + MC) as well as the combination of both. The additive effect or synergistic effect of acupuncture and basic western medicine will then be analyzed.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation versus parasacral stimulation in the treatment of overactive bladder in elderly people: a triple-blinded randomized controlled trial.
To evaluate the effect of transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS) and transcutaneous parasacral stimulation on the treatment of overactive bladder (OAB) in elderly people and to compare the final results between groups. ⋯ Both of the proposed treatments were effective in the improvement of OAB symptoms, but TTNS showed a reduction in a greater number of symptoms as measured by the 3-day bladder diary. No differences were found between groups.
