Tibial nerve stimulation to inhibit the micturition reflex by an implantable wireless driver microstimulator in cats

摘要

Background: Traditional tibial nerve stimulation (TNS) has been used to treat overactive bladder syndrome (OAB), but there are some shortcomings. Thus, a novel alternative is needed for the treatment of OAB. The study investigated the effects of a new type of tibial nerve microstimulator on the micturition reflex in cats.
