Clinical Trial Summary

Neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction is common among people with Multiple sclerosis with a pooled prevalence of 68.41% using self-report measures and 63.95% using urodynamic studies. Transcutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation (TTNS) is a non-invasive treatment option to manage bladder storage symptoms, however, the potential efficacy of TTNS among people with multiple sclerosis is based on a small number of studies with the absence of high-quality evidence relating to efficacy, and lack of clarity of the optimal electrical stimulation parameters and frequency, duration and number of treatment sessions. The feasibility and acceptability of TTNS to manage storage bladder symptoms using Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) needs to be established before proceeding with a definitive randomised trial. This study aims to assess whether TTNS is feasible and acceptable as a treatment for bladder storage symptoms in people with MS


Clinical Trial Description

The investigators will use a single-arm experimental study to explore the feasibility and acceptability of TTNS in the treatment of bladder storage symptoms in multiple sclerosis. The CONSORT extension for pilot and feasibility studies will be followed to standardise the conduct and reporting of the study. The recruitment plan is twofold: 1) Open recruitment for people with MS through MS Ireland's communication channels; 2) Recruitment from a convenience sample of people with MS who have previously participated in a qualitative study. The investigators will assess recruitment/retention rates, the urinary symptoms changes and the effect on quality of life using International classification of incontinence questionnaire - overactive bladder (ICIQ-OAB), 3-day bladder diary, King's Health Questionnaire and collect self-reported data on adherence and adverse events and acceptability of using TTNS. ;
