Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Dysfunctions of the lower urinary tract are non-motor symptoms common engines in Parkinson's disease (PD). Urodynamic changes in PD include overactive bladder (OB), characterized by urgency with or without urge incontinence , usually with frequency and nocturia . The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and effectiveness of the treatment of OB in patients with PD with the use of a specific treatment: Posterior Tibial Nerve Electrostimulation (PTNE).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Introduction: Dysfunctions of the lower urinary tract are non-motor symptoms common engines in Parkinson's disease (PD). Urodynamic changes in PD include overactive bladder (OB), characterized by urgency with or without urge incontinence , usually with frequency and nocturia . The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and effectiveness of the treatment of OB in patients with PD with the use of a specific treatment: Posterior Tibial Nerve Electrostimulation (PTNE). Materials and methods: This is test-clinical, double-blind, randomized, controlled comparison with placebo. The research will be conducted with patients diagnosed with PD and symptoms of OB in the Clinical Hospital of Porto Alegre, in the Movement Disorders and Urogynecology Ambulatories. The patients are divided into two groups, one of which receives placebo stimulation (often below the therapeutic threshold). They will be assessed before and after 12 weeks of treatment with home PTNE through specific form of questionnaires assessing incontinence, quality of life and voiding diary. After the end of treatment will be made up of patients to verify the effectiveness of treatment in 30 to 90 days. Hypothesis: Through this research the investigators hope to determine the true efficacy of this treatment method with PTNE in OB in PD with a high level of evidence, seeking to improve urinary symptoms and quality of life in this patient population.

Back Tibial Nerve Electrostimulation

They will be assessed before and after 12 weeks of treatment with home PTNE through specific form of questionnaires assessing incontinence, quality of life and voiding diary. After the end of treatment will be made up of patients to verify the effectiveness of treatment in 30 to 90 days.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Back Tibial Nerve Electrostimulation

Intervention Type DEVICE

The BTNE will be made with electrodes Silver Spike Point (SSP) set in an ankle with the negative pole positioned on the inner malleolus and the positive approximately 05 cm below the previous, and connected to a portable stimulator powered by rechargeable battery developed by the Biomedical Engineering Department of the HCPA.

Placebo Electrostimulation

They will be assessed before and after 12 weeks of treatment with home PTNE through specific form of questionnaires assessing incontinence, quality of life and voiding diary. After the end of treatment will be made up of patients to verify the effectiveness of treatment in 30 to 90 days.

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Placebo Electrostimulation

Intervention Type DEVICE

The BTNPE will be made with electrodes Silver Spike Point (SSP) set in an ankle with the negative pole positioned on the inner malleolus and the positive approximately 05 cm below the previous, and connected to a portable stimulator powered by rechargeable battery developed by the Biomedical Engineering Department of the HCPA.
