Summary

For older women, behavioral therapy (BT) reduces overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms, with greater improvements seen in combination with transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS), according to a study published online April 6 in PLOS ONE . Marianna Vale D'Alessandro Barbosa, from the Universidade de Brasilia in Brazil, and colleagues examined the effects of TTNS associated with BT compared to BT alone for treatment of OAB in older women in a randomized controlled clinical trial. Group 1 received BT alone and group 2 received BT + TTNS (19 in each group).
