Systematic Review of Percutaneous and Transcutaneous Posterior Tibial Neurostimulation for Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms & Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction in Children

Key Points

• To evaluate the effectiveness of posterior tibial neurostimulation in treating lower urinary tract symptoms and dysfunction in children.
• Conducted a systematic review of existing literature
• Included studies assessing both percutaneous and transcutaneous neurostimulation approaches
• Analyzed outcomes related to lower urinary tract symptoms and dysfunction
• Most studies reported at least mild benefits in pediatric patients
• High variability in study outcomes was observed
• Quality of evidence was generally low, indicating a need for stronger research
