Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the effects of transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation and sacral electrostimulation for the treatment of overactive-bladder women using literature review. Methods: Internet search at Centro Latino-Americano e do Caribe de Informação em Ciências da Saúde (BIREME), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) and PubMed databases in order to identify scientific manuscripts published from January 2007 to September 2016 with the following keywords “physiotherapy”, “electrotherapy”, “treatment”, “transcutaneous nerve stimulation of the tibial nerve and transcutaneous nerve stimulation of sacral region”, “mixed urinary incontinence”, “urge urinary incontinence” and “women”. Results: Only four articles using the selected treatments with female population were found. Conclusion: There are few studies about electrostimulation of posterior tibial nerve and sacral region as a treatment for overactive bladder. However, the few findings in sacral electrostimulation have been shown to be effective for long-term treatment, thus evidencing the need for more research in the area.
