Characterizing the transcutaneous electrical recruitment of lower leg afferents in healthy adults: implications for non-invasive treatment of overactive bladder

Abstract Background As a potential new treatment for overactive bladder (OAB), we investigated the feasibility of non-invasively activating multiple nerve targets in the lower leg. Methods In healthy participants, surface electrical stimulation (frequency = 20 Hz, pulse width = 200 μs) was used to t...
