Clinical observation of female overactive bladder patients through electrical stimulation on pudendal nerve by percutaneous puncture

Objective The incidence of overactive bladder (OAB) is increasing year by year, but the treatment of it is single. This study is intended to investigate the clinical efficacy of electrical stimulation on pudendal nerve by percutaneous puncture in female OAB patients. Methods Sixty cases of OAB patients were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, 30 cases in each group. The control group was used oral tolterodine treatment, while the observation group was used electrical stimulation on pudendal nerve by percutaneous puncture as well as oral tolterodine treatment. After 3 months, the average urination and urinary incontinence times of 24 hours, overactive bladder syndrome score (OABSS), self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and life index score of two groups were observed. SPSS 22.0 statistical software was applied to analyze the data. Results All therapeutic effect index of observation group and control group are improved compared to that before treatment. And the average urinary incontinence times of 24 hours, OABSS, SAS and life index score in observation group were significantly better than those in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Electrical stimulation on pudendal nerve by percutaneous puncture can effectively relieve symptoms of OAB and anxiety status. It is worth promoting for curative effect and high security.
