Abstract
Introduction Faecal incontinence is an increasingly common condition with significant negative impacts on the quality of life and healthcare resources. Percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation is a new non-invasive treatment method which is used as an alternative to sacral nerve neuromodulation for faecal incontinence. It is simple, well tolerated and cost effective treatment method which can be performed in the outpatient clinic. Purpose To identify how percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) affects the quality of life of patients with faecal incontinence. Methods A study of 12 adult women who suffer from faecal incontinence. PTNS procedure may induce similar neuromodulatory effect to SNS by stimulating the posterior tibial nerve. Adhesive electrodes were put in the leg just above the ankle by posterior tibial nerve projection. Patients were stimulated for 4 weeks, 1 session was 20 min, stimulation parameters were 10 mA, 200-ìs, 10-Hz. Patients were given validated questionnaires of Wexner‘s score and QOL score pre-PTNS and post-PTNS. Results Wexner’s score: quality of life for faecal incontinence ,assessment pre -PTNS : no deterioration 16.7%, less deterioration16.7%, deterioration 41.7%, significant deterioration 25.0% ; post PTNS : no deterioration 16.7%, less deterioration 41.7%, deterioration 8.3%, significant deterioration 8.3%, no answer 25% (p < 0.05). QOL score: Patients with faecal incontinence think that their health is: pre -PTNS: well 8.3%; moderate 58.3 %; low 25.0 %; post –PTNS: total 8.3%, well 16.7%; moderate 66.7 %; low 8.3 % (p<0.05). Discussion and conclusions In our research after the PTNS procedure the quality of life increased for 75% of the patients with faecal incontinence. PTNS is an effective treatment method for faecal incontinence, but further research is needed as well as itemised indications. Our long-term outcome data will provide further information on the efficiency of tibial nerve stimulation in a larger [...].
