MEG recordings visualized non-invasively a dynamic anterior-posterior activation in the pyramidal cell population of the human primary somatosensory cortex (S1) after posterior tibial nerve stimulation. Somatosensory evoked fields (SEFs) were recorded over the foot area in response to right posterior tibial nerve stimulation at the ankle in six normal subjects. A newly developed MEG vector beam...

Pelvic floor dysfunction is a highly prevalent functional pathology that affects women and can present with different clinical symptoms that include urinary urgency with or without incontinence, diurnal and nocturnal frequency, urinary retention, fecal incontinence, obstructive defecation, sexual dysfunction and pelvic pain. Lately, concern arised as to offer patients an advanced therapy within...

Most of foot pain occurs by the entrapment of the tibial nerve and its branches. Some studies have reported the location of the tibial nerve; however, textbooks and researches have not described the posterior tibial artery and the relationship between the tibal nerve and the posterior tibial artery in detail. The purpose of this study was to analyze the location of neurovascular structures and ...

Excessive abnormal strain or tension on the posterior tibial nerve in feet exhibiting talotarsal instability has been considered one of the possible etiologic factors of tarsal tunnel syndrome. The suggested treatment options in such cases include stabilization of the talotarsal joint complex in a corrected position, which might help minimize the abnormal forces placed on the posterior tibial n...

PURPOSE Conservative therapy and antimuscarinic agents are first line therapies for overactive bladder. Patients refractory to treatment are candidates for neuromodulation therapy. We estimated the costs and cost-effectiveness of percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation and sacral nerve stimulation. MATERIALS AND METHODS A Markov model was constructed to simulate the total costs and effectivenes...

Background: This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tibial nerve stimulation (TNS) anticholinergic drugs (ACDs) for treatment overactive bladder syndrome (OAB).

Responses from the dorsal surface of the exposed dorsal column nuclei (DCN) in baboons and a monkey (Macaca fascicularis) were recorded in response to electrical stimulation of the posterior tibial nerve at the ankle, the common peroneal nerve at the knee, the sciatic nerve, the spinal cord at T10, and the median nerve at the wrist. Recordings of far-field potentials from the vertex with a non-...

Urinary Incontinence (UI) is known as voluntary urinary incontinence or involuntary incontinence.UI may be via the urethra due to ectopic urethra. Conservative treatment considered first-line therapy for most patients, it has minimal side effects and does not worsen patient's symptoms. The physiotherapy approach includes bladder training, pelvic floor muscle biofeedback, electrical stimulation....
