Abstract

Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is one of the first options for conservative treatment in overactive bladder syndrome (OAB). The role of FES in patients whom not exactly satisfied with anticholinergic treatment is unclear. In this study, pre- and post-treatment assessment of women whom not satisfied with anticholinergics was compared. Adding FES treatment to patients whom not full satisfied with anticholinergic treatment can increase cure rates of OAB cases.
