Percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation for the treatment of urinary frequency, urinary urgency, and urge incontinence: results from a community-based clinic.

Overactive bladder affects 16% of the adult population. This retrospective analysis evaluated the application of percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS), a minimally invasive neuromodulation therapy, in a population of patients who failed to achieve adequate control of symptoms of urinary urgency, urinary frequency, and urinary incontinence with conservative treatments. A course of 12 PTNS sessions was prescribed and administered in the context of an independent community-based, nurse practitioner-led continence practice.
