Enhancing Pelvic Floor Function With Transcranial Magnetic and Tibial Nerve Stimulation for Neurogenic Bladder in MS

"Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS): rTMS is a non-invasive procedure that uses a magnetic coil placed on the scalp to deliver magnetic pulses to the motor cortex, with the aim of improving bladder function by modulating brain activity associated with bladder control. The MagRex magnetic stimulator with an 8-shaped coil will be used at a frequency of 10 Hz, delivering 2000 pulses per session (6 seconds on, 24 seconds rest protocol) at 90% of the motor threshold. The treatment will consist of 3 sessions per week over a period of 4 weeks.~Percutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation (PTNM): PTNM involves the use of electrical stimulation applied to the posterior tibial nerve to enhance bladder function by modulating neural pathways. A needle will be placed 5-6 cm proximal to the tibial malleolus, with the following parameters: 200 μs pulse duration, 20 Hz frequency, 30 minutes per session, 3 times per week for 12 weeks. The Neurotrac Pelvitone device will be used."
