OAB significantly impacts the quality of life of affected individuals. Transcutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation (TTNS) is a non-invasive treatment option used to manage overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms. Objective: to determine the effects of Transcutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation on overactive bladder symptoms in adults. Methods: A randomized controlled trial was held at the Sindh Institute of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation with a non-probability purposive sampling technique. After screening for inclusion criteria 60 patients were randomly allocated into two Group A received Transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS) combined with traditional physiotherapy, while Group B just received traditional physiotherapy. Both interventions were given for six weeks. The overactive Bladder Symptom Score was used as an outcome measure tool. Results: Group A improved in all OAB parameters, including daytime frequency (p=0.008), nocturia (p=0.006), urinary urgency (p=0.002), and urge urinary incontinence (p=0.008) with a significant improvement p |
