MARTINEZ-PIZARRO, Sandra. Parasacral transcutaneous stimulation to treat overactive bladder in children. Rev. mex. urol. [online]. 2021, vol.81, n.1, e11.  Epub 31-Mar-2023. ISSN 2007-4085.  https://doi.org/10.48193/revistamexicanadeurologa.v81i1.687.

Overactive bladder is the second most frequent cause of bladder dysfunction, after enuresis, in childhood. Urotherapy and anticholinergics are the first treatment options. However, in recent years, parasacral transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation has been proposed as an alternative treatment. Current studies show the potential and efficacy of said treatment in children. According to results, a 20-minute session at 10Hz should be performed once or twice a week, for a total of 20 sessions. It is essential for all healthcare professionals to be aware of this procedure, so that innovative care, based on the latest evidence, can be offered to patients.
