A finite element modeling study of peripheral nerve recruitment by percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation in the human lower leg.

Percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) is a clinical therapy for treating overactive bladder (OAB), where an un-insulated stainless steel needle electrode is used to target electrically the tibial nerve (TN) in the lower leg.

Characterizing the transcutaneous electrical recruitment of lower leg afferents in healthy adults: implications for non-invasive treatment of overactive bladder.

As a potential new treatment for overactive bladder (OAB), we investigated the feasibility of non-invasively activating multiple nerve targets in the lower leg.
In healthy participants, surface electrical stimulation (frequency = 20 Hz, pulse width = 200 μs) was used to target the tibial nerve, saphenous nerve, medial plantar nerve, and lateral plantar nerve.
