Defining the Safety and Efficacy of Posterior Tibial Nerve Stimulation in Children

Chi Dang Hornik, Duke University

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to find out if overactive bladder (OAB) can be safely treated by stimulating a nerve near the ankle. This procedure is called percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS). It will be done by a device called the Urgent PC. The Urgent PC works by sending weak electrical signals through a thin needle to the nerve near the ankle. Stimulating this nerve may change bladder control.

Detailed Description

This study is a single-arm, open label, prospective, multicenter study of 50 participants aged 5-21 years with OAB. Participants will undergo outpatient PTNS sessions per routine clinical care using Urgent PC once weekly for 12 weeks. Patients, parents and clinicians will not be blinded to treatment or assessments during the study.
