Clinical Trial Summary

This study evaluates the effectiveness of bilateral stimulation of the tibial nerve compared to unilateral stimulation in neurological bladder disorders.


Clinical Trial Description

Urinary disorders are common in neurological diseases. The prognosis of neurological bladders is twofold. On the one hand, symptoms such as incontinence or retention affect quality of life and comfort. On the other hand, complications such as urinary tract infections or renal failure threaten health and even involve patients' vital prognosis. Several therapies are used to treat these urinary disorders including transcutaneous or percutaneous posterior tibial nerve stimulation (SNTP). SNTP is used in treating symptoms of bladder overactivity. This treatment is most often used unilaterally, but can be used bilaterally.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of bilateral stimulation of the tibial nerve compared to unilateral stimulation in neurological bladder disorders.

50 patients will be included, in two arms by randomization, one arm of 25 patients will be treated by unilateral stimuylation and the other arm of 25 patients will be trated by bilateral stimulation.

They will be evaluate at 3, 6 and 12 months by auto questionnaire and the effectivess of each therapy will be compared. ;
