- Studies show that most patients can achieve long-lasting relief of their symptoms. After PTNS, most patients go to the bathroom less and have fewer accidents. 1-4
Proven Effective:
Over 50 clinical studies in peer-reviewed medical journals demonstrates that Percutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation is effective with consistent results.
- Up to 80% patient response in men and women5-12
- Reduces frequency, incontinence episodes, nighttime voids and urgency 8
- Superior to leading drugs with statistically significant reductions in OAB symptoms 4,7
- At 3 years follow-up, all reported quality of life measures remained markedly improved with about one treatment a month8
Proven Safe: PTNS treatment side effects
Percutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation for Overactive Bladder has been used in over a million treatments since 2005. PTNS is extremely low-risk and comfortable for most patients. The most common PTNS treatment side effects are temporary and include mild pain and inflammation at or near the stimulation site. No serious adverse events with Percutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation therapy have been reported.
Patient Preferred: PTNS for OAB symptoms
Percutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation is the first choice for patients who didn’t respond to conservative and drug therapies.9 In a study, 98% of patients were willing to try PTNS.9
Percutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation candidates include those who are:
- Too old and/or frail for other therapies
- Suffering intolerable side-effects from other therapies
- Experiencing insufficient response to drugs
- Already receiving BOTOX® injections for overactive bladder
- Unwilling to perform self-catheterization
- Who want a non-drug, non-surgical option
What do patients say PTNS Therapy feels like?
“Sometimes it’s a numbed feeling and other times a pulsing or vibrating or a simple, single twitch of a toe.” – Judith*
“I usually feel tingling in my toes and the bottom of my foot during treatment. It’s very comfortable and relaxing.” – Ann*
