Efficacy and Safety of Peroneal Electric Transcutaneous Neuromodulation (Peroneal eTNM) in the Real-world Clinical Practice

The aim of the project is to study neuromodulation treatment in patients with idiopathic overactive bladder syndrome (OAB) in real clinical practice.

Detailed Description

A relatively new method of neuromodulation treatment of idiopathic OAB will be studied in the form of peroneal electrical transcutaneous neuromodulation (peroneal eTNM). Its principle is completely non-invasive, but highly selective stimulation of the peroneal nerve. Neuromodulation is performed using a surface electrode attached to the laterocaudal region of the popliteal fossa, where this nerve can be very well influenced due to its relatively superficial course. Nerve stimulation is performed intermittently in a doctor's office, the duration of application is 30 min., it is usually repeated once a week for at least 12 weeks.

The study is designed as a prospective, multicentre, non-interventional, observational study. Only data that is part of the standard examination and treatment process based on an extract from the standard medical documentation prepared by the attending physician will be collected and subsequently evaluated.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Peroneal eTNM
Patients with OAB who will undergo treatment with peroneal electrical transcutaneous neuromodulation (peroneal eTNM).
Procedure: Peroneal eTNM
Peroneal electrical transcutaneous neuromodulation (peroneal eTNM) is used to stimulate the peroneal nerve to positively influence the symptoms of OAB.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Patient improvement measured using PGI-I tool
Time Frame: 12 weeks
Patient improvement will be measured using validated PGI-I tool. PGI-I is a psychometric rating tool used to measure patient treatment satisfaction on a ranked scale.
12 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Overall treatment effect (OAB-V8)
Time Frame: 12 weeks
The overall treatment effect will be measured using the OAB-V8 tool. It is an 8-question medical screening tool used to identify symptoms severity of an overactive bladder (OAB) and measure how much those symptoms bother a patient.
12 weeks
Overall treatment safety
Time Frame: 12 weeks
Overall treatment safety will be measured by the number and severity of adverse events.
12 weeks
Predictive factors for clinical treatment success (PGI-I)
Time Frame: 12 weeks
Multivariate analysis of predictive factors for clinical treatment success (sex, age, comorbidities, concomitant medication, stimulation parameters).
12 weeks
