Transcutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation (TTNS) Treatment in Spina Bifida Pediatric Patients With Neurogenic Bladder

Effectiveness of Transcutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation in Pediatric Patients With Neurogenic Bladder Secondary to Spina Bifida

Sponsor

University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center

Enrollment

12 participants

Start Date

Nov 18, 2025

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Spina Bifida

Summary

The purpose of this research study is to determine the effectiveness of a treatment called "transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation" or "TTNS" in the treatment of urinary leakage for patients with spina bifida. This treatment involves electrical stimulation of a nerve by the ankle. Participants will complete urodynamic testing and questionnaires prior to the treatments. Participants will then complete 6 weekly treatments of TTNS. Participants will learn how to do the treatment in the clinic, and then can complete the treatments at home. For patients with a good response, the treatments may be continued for another 6 weeks, for a total of 6 weeks.
