Cutaneous stimulation of the bladder in multiple sclerosis: a case report

J Urol. 1983 May;129(5):1047-8. doi: 10.1016/s0022-5347(17)52535-5.

Abstract

We report on the use of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation to improve bladder emptying in a multiple sclerosis patient with a hypotonic bladder. Urodynamic testing demonstrated decreased bladder capacity, earlier first sensation and increased bladder pressure during trials of stimulation.
