Posterior Tibial Nerve Stimulation

PTNS (under the brand name Urgent PC) is an FDA-approved device for the treatment of urinary urgency, urinary frequency and urge incontinence. It is often described as a peripheral form of neuromodulation (as opposed to SNM which is central neuromodulation at the level of the nerve root). PTNS involves 12 weeks of weekly 30 minute office-based treatment sessions with a small electrode placed slightly above the ankle in order to stimulate the S2-4 nerve roots.
