Evaluation of the use of posterior tibial nerve stimulation for the treatment of fecal incontinence: preliminary results of a prospective study.

30 Jul 2009 PURPOSE: Neuromodulation therapies have been used with success in patients with fecal incontinence. Intermittent percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation is a new, minimally invasive treatment option for these patients. This study was designed to ... Read more...

Can sensory and/or motor reactions during percutaneous nerve evaluation predict outcome of sacral nerve modulation?

30 Jul 2009 PURPOSE: A major advantage of sacral nerve modulation in the treatment of fecal incontinence is the ability to determine the likely treatment outcome before implantation by means of a percutaneous nerve evaluation and a test stimulation period. This ... Read more...

Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation and transcutaneous spinal electroanalgesia: a preliminary efficacy and mechanisms-based investigation.

13 Jul 2009 OBJECTIVES: To determine the effects of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and transcutaneous spinal electroanalgesia (TSE) on mechanical pain threshold (MPT) and vibration threshold (VT). DESIGN: A prospective, single-blind, ... Read more...
