TTNS in SCI Patients With Neurogenic Detrusor Overactivity

Brief Summary

This is a prospective, single-arm, pilot study to assess effectiveness and tolerability of transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS) in managing neurogenic detrusor overactivity in spinal cord injury patients. 12 - 16 spinal cord injury patients with neurogenic detrusor overactivity will be recruited. The intervention includes administration of TTNS at the highest tolerated level for 20 minutes daily for 4 weeks, using a neuromodulation device -- Tensi+. Outcome measures including Urodynamic Study (UDS) will be retrieved or collected at baseline and collected after the 4 weeks of TTNS administration. Other outcome measures include Overactive Bladder Questionnaire Short Form (OAB-Q-SF), which will be administered before and after TTNS administration, subject's level of discomfort and any adverse events experienced by the subject will be recorded after each intervention session and a bladder diary will be recorded weekly for subjects not on indwelling urinary catheters. A TTNS satisfaction survey will also be performed at the end of the study.
