At-Home Transcutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation for Overactive Bladder in Rural Women
Sponsor: Oregon Health and Science University
Summary
This study contains a mixed-methods design consisting of a single-arm, interventional study and prospective patient interviews evaluating a novel self-implemented at-home Transcutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation (TTNS) treatment protocol for management of treatment naïve overactive bladder (OAB) among rural-dwelling women. This study will be conducted in 3 rural Oregon communities where Oregon Health \& Science University satellite campuses are located.

Interventions
Transcutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation (TTNS)
Participants will perform self-implemented at-home transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation using a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) unit. Participants will be instructed to use the TENS unit to deliver stimulation to the tibial nerve on one ankle for a 30-minute session, three times per week for 12 weeks upon receipt of the device. Intensity will be based on the participant's tolerance, just above the perception threshold but not painful.
