Studies show that TTNS is safe and effective, with 48-93% of patients
achieving significant symptom improvement.
TTNS leads to a significant reduction in urgency and night-time
voiding, and significant improvement in quality of life.
Compared with common medications, TTNS has similar improvements
in frequency, urgency, incontinence, pad usage and quality of life. It is
generally, more acceptable and better tolerated due to lack of side
effects. Additionally, it is cheaper in the long-term, and the effects of
TTNS are sustained for up to 6 months, whereas the effects of drug
therapy ceases when you stop taking the drug.
Adding TTNS to standard first-line therapy (bladder training and pelvic
floor muscle training) gives much greater improvements in frequency,
overnight voiding and incontinence.
Ask your physician if this treatment is right for you.
