Systematic Review of Percutaneous and Transcutaneous Posterior Tibial Neurostimulation for Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms & Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction in Children

Listen to this summary

The authors conducted a systematic review to evaluate the efficacy of posterior tibial nerve stimulation (TNS) in treating lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and dysfunction (LUTD) in children. They found that both percutaneous and transcutaneous TNS approaches often provide mild benefits, with variable efficacy across different types of LUTS, but highlighted the low to moderate quality of evidence and the need for more rigorous studies to better assess TNS's effectiveness in pediatric populations.
