Non-Invasive Autonomic Neuromodulation for Overactive Bladder: A Comparative Pilot Trial of NESA and Tibial Nerve Stimulation.

ABSTRACT: Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the effect of non-invasive NESA neuromodulation compared to posterior tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) in patients with an overactive bladder (OAB), also given the same exercises and patient education, on quality of life, symptoms, discomfort and sleep quality. Method: Twenty-four women, aged 38-85 years with OAB, were included in this preliminary randomized controlled trial. Each patient attended ten sessions, twice a week. Patient pelvic floor function and urinary incontinence symptoms were collected throughout ICIQ-SF and B-SAQ questionnaires. Patient QoL and sleep quality were reported using SF-36 and PSQI, respectively. All outcomes were measured using three assessments: previous treatment (T1), immediately after treatment (T2) and two-mon
