“…A weak point in our study is that we had relative a smaller number of patients compared to other studies as in a study by Hoebeke et al [4], which include 32 patients (17 boys, 15 girls) and in Capitanucci et al [13] which include 44 children (25 female, 19 male), but we were among few studies that treat pediatric age group as a study by Doyle et al [16] which included only eight children which also showed that PTNS is safe and well tolerated to children that had failed previous standard treatments for overactive bladder with minimal side effects as difficulties in maintaining weekly treatment schedule and these results are in agreement with our study.…”

Background: To assess the efficacy and durability of percutaneous posterior tibial nerve stimulation for the treatment of the overactive bladder in children. Results: Twenty patients with a mean age of 7 ± 3.3 years were included in the study. Subjective success was found in 12 patients (60%) who considered their situation to be better and requested to continue therapy to maintain the response which was considered as a therapeutic success, while eight patients (40%) patients chose not to continue therapy because they did not have symptomatic improvement. Conclusion: Posterior tibial nerve stimulation is an effective, minimally invasive method for treatment and is easily applied to induce improvement in overactive bladder symptoms and objective urodynamic changes with negligible side effects.
