Effect of Spinal Magnetic Stimulation Versus Posterior Tibial Neuromodulation in Treatment of Monosymptomatic Nocturnal Enuresis: a Prospective Randomized Clinical Trial

A prospective randomized trial to study the effect of spinal magnetic stimulation versus posterior tibial neuromodulation in the treatment of monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis.

Detailed Description

Nocturnal enuresis is defined as "nighttime bedwetting in children aged five years or older.Currently available treatment options for nocturnal enuresis include medication, wetting alarms, lifestyle changes, sacral magnetic stimulation, and posterior tibial neurmodulation.

Magnetic stimulation is a valid method for stimulation of sacral as functional electrical stimulation. It generates a more powerful and deeper electrical field than that produced by conventional electrical stimulators. So, magnetic stimulation could be considered an attractive form of electrical therapy, being relatively painless, non-invasive and free from side effects.Peripheral neuromodulation is the modulation of the physiologic behavior of the nerve by electrical stimulation. Posterior tibial neuromodulation is an effective method in treatment of urinary incontinence

Exclusion Criteria:

  • - Patients younger than 5 years old.
  • Patients who have any abnormality in blood or urine biochemistry.
  • Patients with other urinary symptoms.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Spinal magnetic stimulation
Spinal magnetic stimulation group will receive repetitive spinal magnetic stimulation sessions for a total of 12 sessions. Using the Neuro-MS/D machine, circular coil will be used to stimulate S2,3 and 4 sacral roots. The outer rim of the coil will be positioned in the midline over the sacral vertebrae (approximately 5 cm above the natal cleft, which approximates to the level of S2) Intensities will be adjusted to 50-70 % of maximal output (2.2 Tesla), stimulation frequency will be fixed at 15 Hz, burst length = 10 seconds, inter-burst interval = 30 seconds with a total of 1500 pulses
Other: Rehabilitation
rehabilitation sessions using spinal magnetic stimulation or neuromodulation
Experimental: Neuromodulation
Neuromodulation group will receive 12 sessions of bilateral transcutaneous posterior tibial neuromodulation using (Myomed 632®, Enraf Nonius, Delft, Netherlands) machine, the active rubber surface was placed behind the medial malleolus and the reference electrode was placed 10 cm proximal. Adjustment of the electric current was as follows: continuous current, pulse duration 200 ms, frequency 20 Hz; each session lasts for 30 min. The current intensity was adjusted according to the tolerance of the patient or until the big toe curls into plantar flexion
Other: Rehabilitation
rehabilitation sessions using spinal magnetic stimulation or neuromodulation
