Just wondered if anyone has had a child receive Nerve Stimulation Treatment for Overactive Bladder and how they've got on with the process?
My 8 year old boy has improved on the frequency side of things over the last 4 years but is still left with extreme urgency, all of which shows from the Urodynamics test he received couple of weeks ago!
My GP now has to apply for funding for the treatment so not even sure if he'll be accepted on to the programme which I understand lasts 12 weeks. The urology team have said they've had 80% success rate with this treatment, an improvement in children's OAB symptoms but it's not a cure!
Once a week for 12 weeks is a long time to take off school but in the grand scheme of things if it helps then I'm willing for my son to try it out (if he gets funding!)
Our hospital doesn't do Biofeedback or TENS machine
Botox is on their list of options but again he probably wouldn't eligible as he's shown tiny signs of improvement and it's their last option of the list for someone wth his symptoms!
Would be great to hear if anyone else has been through PTNS??
Thanks
