Comparison of the efficacy and safety of sacral root magnetic stimulation with transcutaneous posterior tibial nerve stimulation in the treatment of neurogenic detrusor overactivity: an exploratory randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Both repetitive sacral root magnetic stimulation (rSMS) and transcutaneous posterior tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS) have demonstrated clinical benefits for lower urinary tract dysfunction. However it still remains unclear that which method is more effective and safer to treat neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO).

Methods

From December 2020 to December 2021, 50 patients (31 men and 19 women, aged 47.9±12.4 years) with NDO secondary to suprasacral spinal cord injury (SCI) were enrolled and randomly allocated to the rSMS or TTNS group based on a computer-generated random numbers table. The stimulation was applied continuously 5 times per week for 20 sessions. Urodynamic test was conducted at baseline and the day after the final 20th treatment session. The primary
