TPTNS: Home vs Hospital Treatment for Overactive Bladder
"Transcutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation as a Conservative Treatment for Overactive Bladder Dysfunction -A Randomised Controlled Trial Comparing Home Versus Hospital Based Treatment"
Comparison of home versus hospital Transcutaneous Posterior Tibial Nerve Stimulation (TPTNS). TPTNS has been shown to be an effective treatment of overactive bladder in hospital. We aim to see if this effect is replicated at home.
80 patients will be recruited, 40 into each arm.
Inclusion criteria:
- Women aged ≥18 years
- Clinical diagnosis of Overactive Bladder (OAB)
- Post-void residual urine volume of < 100ml
- Able to do questionnaires
- Able to consent and willing to participate
Exclusion Criteria
- Cardiac pacemaker in situ
- Leg ulcer/skin condition affecting both lower legs
- Diagnosed peripheral vascular disease
- Absent sensation at the electrode site
- Current Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) - must be treated with appropriate antibiotics as per the unit protocol prior to commencing study
- Pregnancy
- Previous Percutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation (PTNS) /Sacral Nerve Stimulation (SNS) course
- Previous intravesical botox treatment
- Unable to complete questionnaires
TPTNS will be taught to the home group and delivered to the participants in the hospital group in individual appointments: 12 treatment sessions of 30 minutes duration, delivered twice weekly over a 6 week period. Two surface electrodes are applied to the right ankle. These electrodes are attached to an electrical stimulator, programmed to safely deliver electric pulses.
On completion of 6 sessions, all participants will be contacted and asked to do a Patient Global Impression of Improvement Scale (PGIIS) and Patient Perception of Bladder Condition (PPBC). After 12 sessions (the final treatment session) all participants will be reviewed by the investigators in the hospital and the outcome measures repeated. Participants receiving home treatment will be posted out a 3 day bladder diary to complete. At this point the participants receiving home treatment will return the machine. All participants will complete and return a 72-hour bladder diary and validated questionnaires routinely used at the study centre to measure lower urinary tract symptoms - The International Consultation of Incontinence Modular Questionnaire - Female Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (ICIQ-FLUTS) long form, the International Consultation of Incontinence Modular Questionnaire - Urinary Incontinence questionnaire (ICIQ-UI short-form. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and the European Quality of Life - 5D Questionnaire (EQ-5D) will also be measured.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change in the International Consultation of Incontinence Modular - Female Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (ICIQ-FLUTS) Long Form Questionnaire total score
Time Frame: At 6 weeks (i.e. after the last TPTNS treatment) and at 12 weeks (i.e. 6 weeks after last the TPTNS treatment)
|
The ICIQ-FLUTS Long Form is a patient-completed questionnaire for evaluating female lower urinary tract symptoms and impact on quality of life (QoL) - 18 questionnaire items are asked and summed to calculate total score.
Total score range (0-69) - a higher score indicates a worse outcome.
Bother scales are not incorporated in the overall score but indicate impact of individual symptoms for the patient .
|
At 6 weeks (i.e. after the last TPTNS treatment) and at 12 weeks (i.e. 6 weeks after last the TPTNS treatment)
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change in number of urgency incontinence episodes recorded on 72 hour bladder diary.
Time Frame: At 6 weeks (i.e. after the last TPTNS treatment) and at 12 weeks (i.e. 6 weeks after last the TPTNS treatment)
|
Patient Perception of Intensity of Urgency Severity (PPIUS) Scores on the bladder diary are recorded when a participant experiences incontinence (range 0-4): 0 indicates no urgency, 1-4 indicate urgency experienced (at increasing severity).
Number of episodes of urge incontinence are identified and summed.
|
At 6 weeks (i.e. after the last TPTNS treatment) and at 12 weeks (i.e. 6 weeks after last the TPTNS treatment)
|
Change in individual urgency score on International Consultation of Incontinence Modular Questionnaire - Female Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (ICIQ-FLUTS) Long Form Questionnaire
