Transcutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation on Incontinence Among Rectal Cancer: A Case Series
Keywords:
Low Anterior Resection Syndrome, Overactive Bladder, Quality of life, Total mesorectal excisionAbstract
Recent times surgeries associated with cancer and its complications are challenging, Globally. Low Anterior Resection Syndrome is a collection of symptoms or issues the Subjects have after removing a part of or entire rectum. Transcutaneous Tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS) is a form of neuromodulation involving the use of electrical impulses to address urinary symptoms. Overactive Bladder (OAB) is nothing but a frequent & a sudden urge to urinate that may be difficult to control (urgency incontinence). ICIQ-SF [International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form] is used widely in urinary incontinence with neurological condition & used to assess type of incontinence & quality of life. Low Anterior Resection Syndrome is an easy-to-use tool for assessment of bowel dysfunction following a Low Anterior Resection for Rectal Cancer. This case series was conducted to analyze the impact of TTNS in 4 male individuals aged between 42 to 69 Outcome measures were assessed before and after the application of treatment (6days/week for 3 weeks)
