pointsstimulation
Electrical stimulation for urinary incontinence is usually applied by a probe inserted in
the vagina and/or anus. An alternative method is to use TENS to stimulate areas of
the skin that are innervated by the same spinal cord segment (S2–S3) as the bladder
and urethra. The stimulation is applied through surface electrodes placed on the skin
between the anus and the genitals, alternatively in the lumbar region. In treatment
of incontinence where the sacral nerves are stimulated, the electrodes should be pla-
ced in the region of S2–S3, see electrode placement picture. The stimulation should
be strong enough to create a reflexive contraction of the anus.
Electrical stimulation of the posterior tibial nerve, via acupuncture points, has also
proven to have a positive effect.
In treatment of incontinence where stimulation is applied over acupuncture points,
the electrodes should be placed over SP6 and behind/beneath the medial malleolus,
see electrode placement picture
