Interventions
Bladder training
Bladder training has 4 components, educating the patient about anatomy, fluid intake control, pelvic floor muscle contractions and increasing the interval between visits to the bathroom
Transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation
A combined electrotherapy device capable of applying transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation will be used. Each session will take 30 minutes. Patient will visit the hospital twice a week for 6 weeks. An electrical current of 0-50 amperes with a frequency of 20 herz, and a duration of 200 micro seconds will be applied using 50x50 mm surface electordes. The aim is to create a tingling sensation without causing any pain on the tibial nerve, at the ankle level.
