Az irodalmi adatokat áttekintve a kezelés hatásosabbnak bizonyult mind placebónál, mind antimuscarin gyógyszerekkel szemben.…”

Neuromodulation for refractory overactive bladder in men

“…There was also a statistically significant improvement in quality of life measures using the ICIQ-OABqol questionnaire. 17 A recent systematic review published in European Urology in 2018 18 included 21 studies with at least 20 patients with six months of follow-up for both SNS and PTNS. There is no available information on the percentage of male participants in these studies.…”
