- OAB Therapy 101 believes that one plausible explanation for TTNS’s limited use in the United States is that treatment efficacy may depend partly on the patient placing the surface electrodes correctly and consistently.
- This differs from PTNS, in which a trained clinician places the needle electrode using anatomical landmarks and evaluates the patient’s response, whereas TTNS requires the patient to position the surface electrodes repeatedly at home.
- We may prove to be correct, partly correct, or incorrect.
- As we gain experience with TTNS, our understanding may change.
