Defining the Safety and Efficacy of POSterIor Tibial NeRve StimulatiON in Children
Sponsor: Chi Dang Hornik
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.

Interventions
Urgent PC
PTNS is a technique of electrical neuromodulation used primarily for treating OAB. The procedure for PTNS consists of the insertion of a fine needle above the medial malleolus near the posterior tibial nerve followed by the application of low-voltage electrical stimulation that produces sensory and motor responses.
