Summary

This study tested whether a technique called transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS), combined with exercise, could help post-menopausal women who have trouble fully emptying their bladder. Sixty women were split into two groups: one received TTNS plus exercise and advice, the other only advice and routine care. The main goal was to see if the leftover urine volume in the bladder decreased after 12 weeks of treatment.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS) device and exercise program
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a non-drug, non-surgical option to help post-menopausal women empty their bladders more fully.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with only 60 women, so results may not apply to everyone. The treatment is non-invasive, so risks are low, but it may not work for all.
