Percutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation

Urgent ^® PC Neuromodulation System

For overactive bladder and associated symptoms of urinary urgency, urinary frequency and urge incontinence.

The Urgent PC Neuromodulation System is an effective, office-based method for stimulating confidence and control in patients when conservative therapies fail.

Simple Procedure

• Provides percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation: a slim needle electrode, inserted near the tibial nerve, carries electric impulses from a hand-held stimulator to the sacral plexus
• 30-minute treatment sessions
• After the 12 initial treatments, some patients may need occassional sessions to sustain symptom relief
• Most common side-effects are temporary and include mild pain or skin inflammation at or near the stimulation site

Proven Performance

• Patient response rates of up to 80%
• Documented reductions in daytime voiding frequency, nighttime voiding frequency and leakage episodes
• Statistically superior to validated sham therapy in a double-blind RCT
• Results maintained at a three year mean follow-up when initial series was followed by maintenance therapy
• In a double-blind placebo study, 71% of patients responded (defined as >50% reduction in voids per day) to treatment with Urgent PC. According to this criteria, no patients in the placebo group were considered responders.
