A prospective randomized trial to study the effect of spinal magnetic stimulation versus posterior tibial neuromodulation in the treatment of monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis.
Nocturnal enuresis is defined as "nighttime bedwetting in children aged five years or older.Currently available treatment options for nocturnal enuresis include medication, wetting alarms, lifestyle changes, sacral magnetic stimulation, and posterior tibial neurmodulation. Magnetic stimulation is a valid method for stimulation of sacral as functional electrical stimulation. It generates a more powerful and deeper electrical field than that produced by conventional electrical stimulators. So, magnetic stimulation could be considered an attractive form of electrical therapy, being relatively painless, non-invasive and free from side effects.Peripheral neuromodulation is the modulation of the physiologic behavior of the nerve by electrical stimulation. Posterior tibial neuromodulation is an effective method in treatment of urinary incontinence
