Summary

This study uses interviews and focus groups to understand how transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS) impacts quality of life and daily activities in 75 people with neurogenic bladder from spinal cord injuries. Researchers aim to identify key themes about bladder function and catheter-related challenges. The goal is to learn how TTNS might improve daily living, not to prove it works as a treatment.
