Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The main questions aimed to be answered are:
What are the effects of Trans Tibial Nerve Stimulation (TTNS) on incontinence-related clinical parameters and quality of life in patients with overactive bladder (OAB) after stroke compared to the placebo group? Participants (n:22) with post-stroke AAM who meet the exclusion and inclusion criteria will be divided into 2 groups using a randomization table. The first group will receive TTNS (n:11) and the second group will receive placebo TTNS (n:11). Measurements will be performed twice in total, before treatment and at the end of treatment (4th week).

Study Groups

Transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS)
In this study, one channel of the stimulation device will provide active stimulation to the patient, while the second channel will not be connected. The patient won't know which channel is active. Both channels will use continuous mode with a pulse frequency of 20 Hz and a pulse width of 200 ms. The intensity for the active channel will be adjusted based on comfort level and observed hallux reaction. Treatment includes 20 sessions of 30 minutes each, administered five times a week for four weeks.
Transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS)
The TTNS will be conducted unilaterally, with the patient in a supine position, using a surface electrode dual stimulation channel stimulation device. Two self-adhesive round surface electrodes will be positioned with the negative electrode 2 cm behind the medial malleolus and the positive electrode 10 cm proximal to it. The ground electrode will be placed on the ipsilateral limb. Channel 1 will provide active stimulation, while channel 2 will remain inactive.
Sham Transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS)
In the placebo group, the same electrotherapy device and settings as the active group will be used. One channel will not be connected to the patient but will display treatment details on the screen. The other channel will be connected but deliver no stimulation. Intensity for the inactive channel is limited to 2-3 mA. Patients will be informed that exceeding this threshold is prevented. Treatment includes 20 sessions of 30 minutes each, administered twice a week for four weeks.
Sham Transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS)
Sham TTNS group will be stimulated using the same electrotherapy device, with patients positioned identically and electrodes placed in the same positions as in the TTNS group. The current characteristics (pulse frequency 20 Hz and pulse width 200 ms) will also remain consistent across both channels. The second channel of the stimulation device will be designated as the channel connected to the patient but without delivering stimulation.
