Description
Summary:The positive effects of the 12-week PTNS treatment for idiopathic overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms were supported by long-term randomized controlled trials demonstrating persistence of efficacy after 12 and 24 months [8-11]. [...]few studies have been performed to determine the effects of PTNS in patients with IC/BPS [12-15]. For the patients who participated in the study, a urinary sediment test was performed to screen for urinary tract infections before the start of the study as well as during every visit to the hospital throughout the study period. According to the previous studies, electrical stimulation (Medtronic Key Point Net®, Denmark) was applied by using charge-compensated 200p,s pulses with a pulse rate of 20 Hz [18, 19]. DISCUSSION The treatment of patients with IC/BPS remains to be a difficult situation. Since the pathophysiology is not fully revealed, different managements have been recommended.
