ABSTRACT

Objetivo: a) Valorar el efecto de la neuromodulación transcutánea del nervio tibial posterior (NTTP) más biofeedback sobre la respuesta simpática cutánea (RSC). b) Evaluar su efecto sobre la sintomatología clínica. c) Considerar la RSC como una probable prueba neurofisiológica útil tanto para el diagnóstico como para el seguimiento en pacientes con vejiga hiperactiva (VH). d) Evaluar su coste comparado con otras técnicas. Material y métodos: Estudio prospectivo cuasi-experimental antes y después a 10 pacientes con VH. Variables de resultado: frecuencia miccional diurna (FMD) y nocturna (FMN), fuerza de los músculos del suelo pélvico medidos por manometría (presión máxima y media) y RSC. Resultados: La FMD mejoró de 10,3±5,45 a 5,9±2,42 episodios (p=0,0050). La FMN mejoró de 2,4±1,5 a 0,6±0,69 episodios (p=0,0012). La presión máxima varió de 34,7±16,51 a 39,7±3,65mmHg (p=0,0195). La presión media de los músculos de suelo pélvico mejoró de 6,6±3,65 a 9,3±5,43mmHg (p=0,0333). La RSC se modificó de una hiperexcitabilidad del 100% previo a tratamiento a un 50±14,14% (p=0,0000). Conclusión: La NTTP más biofeedback podrían modificar la RSC y mejorar la clínica y la manometría en una serie de pacientes con VH. Se reporta por primera vez la probable utilidad diagnóstica y pronóstica de esta prueba neurofisiológica en VH e hiperactividad del detrusor. Es necesario realizar un estudio con una muestra más amplia para poder confirmar los prometedores hallazgos observados en este estudio preliminar.(AU)


Objective: (a) To assess the effect of transcutaneous neuromodulation (TNM) of the posterior tibial nerve plus biofeedback on the sympathetic skin response (SSR). (b) Evaluate its effect on clinical symptoms. (c) Consider SSR as a probable neurophysiological test useful both for diagnosis and for follow-up in patients with overactive bladder (OAB). (d) Evaluate its cost compared to other techniques. Material and methods: A prospective quasi-experimental before and after study in 10 OAB patients. Outcome variables: daytime (DUF) and nighttime (NUF) urinary frequency, strength of the pelvic floor muscles measured by manometry (maximum and mean pressure) and sympathetic skin response (SSR). Results: DUF improved from 10.3±5.45 to 5.9±2.42 episodes (P=.0050). The NUF improved from 2.4±1.5 to 0.6±0.69 episodes (P=.0012). The maximum pressure ranged from 34.7±16.51 to 39.7±3.65mmHg (P=.0195). The mean pressure of the pelvic floor muscles improved from 6.6±3.65 to 9.3±5.43mmHg (P=.0333). SSR changed from 100% hyperexcitability prior to treatment to 50±14.14% (P=.0000). Conclusion: TNM plus biofeedback could modify SSR and improve clinical and manometry variables in a series of patients with OAB. The probable diagnostic and prognostic utility of this neurophysiological test in OAB and detrusor hyperactivity is reported for the first time. A larger sample study is needed to confirm the promising findings seen in this preliminary study.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción: Los resultados de la estimulación percutánea del nervio tibial posterior (PTNS) en el tratamiento de la incontinencia fecal (IF) parecen discretos. El objetivo del estudio es valorar la relación de algunos aspectos técnicos con la respuesta clínica: localización del nervio, respuesta distal (motora o sensitiva) y acomodación. Métodos: Estudio prospectivo de pacientes con IF sometidos a terapia de PTNS. La repuesta clínica se valoró mediante la escala de Wexner, diario defecatorio y manometría anorrectal. Resultados: Se estudiaron 32 pacientes. La intensidad de localización (cercanía al nervio) no se correlacionó con cambios clínicos ni manométricos. La respuesta motora se relacionó con un descenso en la escala de Wexner [12,12 (± 5,39) a 7,71 (± 4,57) p < 0,005], el número de episodios de incontinencia pasiva [8,78 (± 9,64) a 4,11 (± 7,11) p = 0,025], el número total de episodios de incontinencia [16,11 (± 16,03) a 7,78 (± 11,34) p = 0,009] y el número de días con ensuciamiento fecal [6,89 (± 5,53) a 2,56 (± 4,13) p = 0,002] y con un aumento de la longitud del conducto anal manométrico en reposo [4,55 (± 0,596) a 4,95 (± 0,213) p = 0,004]. El incremento de estimulación (acomodación) se correlacionó de forma inversa con la disminución en la escala de Wexner (r = -0,677 p < 0,005) y el número de días con ensuciamiento (r = -0,650 p = 0,022). Conclusiones: La respuesta motora durante la PTNS parece relacionarse con una mejor respuesta clínica. El fenómeno de acomodación podría asociarse con peores resultados. La cercanía del electrodo al nervio no parece tener trascendencia, siempre que se consiga una buena respuesta distal. (AU)


Introduction: The results of percutaneous posterior tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) in the treatment of fecal incontinence (IF) are modest. The aim of the study is to assess the relationship of some technical aspects with the clinical response: location of the nerve, distal response (motor or sensory) and accommodation. Methods: Prospective study of patients with FI undergoing PTNS therapy. The clinical response was assessed using the Wexner scale, defecation diary and anorectal manometry. Results: 32 patients were studied. The intensity of localization (proximity to the nerve) was not correlated with clinical or manometric changes. Motor response was associated with a decrease on the Wexner scale [12.12 (± 5.39) to 7.71 (± 4.57) p < 0.005], the number of episodes of passive incontinence [8.78 (± 9.64) to 4.11 (± 7.11) p = 0.025], the total number of incontinence episodes [16.11 (± 16.03) to 7.78 (± 11.34) p = 0.009] and the number of days with faecal soiling [6.89 (± 5.53) to 2.56 (± 4.13) p = 0.002] and with an increase in the length of the manometric anal canal at rest [4.55 (± 0.596) to 4.95 (± 0.213) p = 0.004]. The increase in stimulation (accommodation) was inversely correlated with the decrease in the Wexner scale (r = -0.677 p < 0.005) and the number of days with soiling (r = -0.650 p = 0.022). Conclusions: The motor response during PTNS seems to be related to a better clinical response. The accommodation phenomenon could be associated with worse results. The proximity of the electrode to the nerve does not seem to be important as long as a good distal response is achieved. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción: El síndrome de vejiga hiperactiva (VH) es una disfunción urológica caracterizada por urgencia miccional, aumento de la frecuencia de las micciones, nicturia y puede llevar asociado incontinencia urinaria de urgencia. Dentro de las técnicas de tratamiento, la neuromodulación periférica del nervio tibial posterior (NMTP) está reconocida internacionalmente como una de las vías de abordaje, aunque no se ha probado un protocolo óptimo. El objetivo de esta revisión es conocer la evidencia disponible sobre cuál es el protocolo de la técnica de NMTP más empleado en la obtención de buenos resultados en el tratamiento de VH en mujeres.Adquisición de la evidenciaSe llevó a cabo una revisión sistemática de la literatura científica en las bases de datos Pubmed, Embase, WOS y Scopus. Se obtuvieron 222 resultados, con 58 duplicados, de los cuales 8 estudios cumplieron los criterios de inclusión establecidos, todos ellos ensayos clínicos aleatorizados.Síntesis de la evidenciaLa técnica de NMTP más utilizada en los trabajos incluidos que muestran estos resultados beneficiosos en mujeres con VH es la percutánea con una aguja colocada 5-6cm en posición proximal al maléolo tibial, por detrás del borde de la tibia y con los parámetros de 200μs de duración de impulso, 20Hz de frecuencia, 30 minutos de tiempo por sesión y con una frecuencia que podría ser de una sesión por semana durante 12 semanas.ConclusiónLa NMTP puede tener efectos beneficiosos y seguros a corto plazo en la VH en mujeres. A pesar de mostrar mejorías estadísticamente significativas en los síntomas clínicos, son necesarias más investigaciones para poder obtener evidencias científicas claras sobre el tipo de protocolo óptimo para el tratamiento de la VH en mujeres.

Introduction: Overactive bladder syndrome (OBS) is a urological disorder characterized by urinary urgency, increased frequency, nocturia, and may be associated with urge urinary incontinence. Posterior tibial nerve peripheral neuromodulation (PTNS) is globally recognized within the treatment options available, although an optimal protocol has not been tested. The objective of this review is to collect the evidence available on the most widely used protocol of the PTNS technique in obtaining good results in the treatment for women with OBS.Evidence acquisitionA systematic review of the scientific literature was carried out in PubMed, Embase, WoS and Scopus databases. A total of 222 results were obtained, with 58 duplicates, of which 8 studies met the established inclusion criteria, all of them randomized clinical trials.Evidence synthesisThe included works show that the most widely used PTNS technique with beneficial results in women with OBS is the percutaneous route with a needle placed 5-6cm proximal to the tibial malleolus, posterior to the edge of the tibia, with the following parameters: 1 weekly session of 30minutes duration for 12 weeks, the use of pulse widths of 200μs with frequency of 20Hz.ConclusionPTNS may have beneficial and safe short-term effects in women with OBS. Despite showing statistically significant improvements in clinical symptoms, further research is needed to obtain clear scientific evidence on the optimal protocol for treating women with OBS. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Resumen OBJETIVO: Reportar dos casos de pacientes con el efecto de la estimulación del nervio tibial posterior en la retención urinaria posparto. CASOS CLÍNICOS: Caso 1: Paciente de 41 años, con dos cesáreas previas, sobrepeso (IMC 28 kg/m2), con 33 semanas de embarazo, hipertensión arterial crónica y preeclampsia sobreagregada asociada con datos de déficit neurológico. En el puerperio tardío tuvo dificultad para miccionar y dolor suprapúbico. Con base en la urodinamia se diagnosticó: disinergia detrusor-esfínter y se trató con estimulación del nervio tibial posterior durante 20 minutos cada semana con duración de fase de 200 µs y frecuencias de 10 Hz durante 12 sesiones. Los parámetros urodinámicos mejoraron y se restablecieron las micciones espontáneas, se redujo la frecuencia del cateterismo limpio intermitente y el efecto continuó a 31 meses de seguimiento. Caso 2: Paciente de 38 años, primigesta, IMC 21 kg/m2 , con antecedente de hipotiroidismo subclínico. A los cinco días de puerperio tuvo retención urinaria de 2000 mL; se le colocó una sonda Foley a drenaje contínuo y, posteriormente, un tapón con vaciado cada 2 horas. No obstante lo anterior tuvo nuevos episodios de retención urinaria que ameritaron el inicio del cateterismo limpio intermitente, 5 en 24 horas y estimulación del nervio tibial posterior con corriente bifásica asimétrica. Se consiguió una mejoría subjetiva del 100% y cambios urodinámicos. Las micciones espontáneas se reiniciaron sin requerir cateterismo limpio intermitente, fue dada de alta luego de un año de seguimiento. CONCLUSIÓN: De acuerdo con los desenlaces del estudio, la estimulación del nervio tibial posterior podría ofrecer una alternativa de tratamiento prometedora en pacientes con retención urinaria posparto.


Abstract OBJECTIVE: Case report of the effect of posterior tibial nerve stimulation on postpartum urinary retention. CASE REPORT: Case 1: 41-year-old patient, with two previous cesarean sections, overweight (BMI 28 kg/m2), 33 weeks of pregnancy, chronic arterial hypertension and over-aggregated preeclampsia associated with data of neurological deficit. In the late puerperium she had difficulty urinating and suprapubic pain. Based on urodynamics, detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia was diagnosed and she was treated with posterior tibial nerve stimulation for 20 minutes every week with phase duration 200 µs and frequency 10 Hz during 12 sessions. Urodynamic parameters improved and spontaneous micturition was restored, the frequency of intermittent clean catheterization was reduced, and the effect continued at 31 months follow-up. Case 2: 38-year-old primigravida patient, BMI 21 kg/m2, with a history of subclinical hypothyroidism. Five days postpartum she had urinary retention of 2000 mL; a Foley catheter was placed for continuous drainage and, subsequently, a plug with emptying every 2 hours. Notwithstanding the above, she had new episodes of urinary retention that warranted the initiation of intermittent clean catheterization, 5 in 24 hours and stimulation of the posterior tibial nerve with asymmetric biphasic current, she had a subjective improvement of 100% and urodynamic changes. Spontaneous urination resumed without requiring intermittent clean catheterization, she was discharged after one year of follow-up. CONCLUSION: According to the study outcomes, posterior tibial nerve stimulation could offer a promising treatment alternative in patients with postpartum urinary retention.

The increase in stimulation (accommodation) was inversely correlated with the decrease in the Wexner scale (r = -0.677 p < 0.005) and the number of days with soiling (r = -0.650 p = 0.022). CONCLUSIONS: The motor response during PTNS seems to be related to a better clinical response. The accommodation phenomenon could be associated with worse results. The proximity of the electrode to the nerve does not seem to be important as long as a good distal response is achieved.

ABSTRACT

La incontinencia urinaria es cualquier pérdida involuntaria de orina. El tratamiento actual consiste en ejercicios de fortalecimiento pélvico y cirugía en los casos severos. Dado que el nervio tibial posterior y músculos del piso pélvico presentan inervación común originada en las raíces sacras se plantea que la estimulación eléctrica de dicho nervio es un método terapéutico de la incontinencia urinaria de esfuerzo. Se realizó un estudio cuasi-experimental, longitudinal, analítico de tipo prospectivo en 22 mujeres entre 20 y 60 años durante el periodo de Junio a Diciembre del año 2014, las cuales cumplieron 6 semanas de terapia y se dividieron en dos grupos: el grupo A que realizó ejercicios de Kegel y Grupo B que realizaron electroestimulación del tibial posterior y ejercicios de Kegel. Las pacientes respondieron el cuestionario de incontinencia urinaria ICIQ-SF al inicio de la terapia y a la finalización. Existió una mejoría global del 26% posterior a la terapia con ejercicios de Kegel y 69% en el grupo que realizó la electroestimulación del tibial posterior al finalizar las 6 semanas de tratamiento.


Urinary incontinence consists in any involuntary loss of urine. -The current treatment consists in pelvic strengthening exercises and surgery in severe cases. Since the tibial posterior nerve and the pelvic floor muscles present common innervation originated in the sacral roots a hypothesis arises: Electrical stimulation of the nerve is a therapeutic method of urinary incontinence. A quasi-experimental, longitudinal, prospective analytical study was performed on 22 women between 20 and 60 years during the period from June to December 2014, which met six weeks of therapy and were divided into two groups: group A who performed Kegel exercises and group B who made electrostimulation of the posterior tibial nerve and Kegel exercises. The patients answered the questionnaire urinary incontinence ICIQ-SF at the start of therapy and termination. There was an overall improvement of 26% after therapy with Kegel exercises and 69% in the group that performed electrostimulation of the posterior tibial nerve at the end of 6 weeks of treatment.

ABSTRACT

Fecal incontinence is a condition that creates a huge impact on quality of life, it affects up to 45 percent of patients of the elderly. Treatment is initially conservative with dietary changes, drugs and perineal biofeedback. Surgery is reserved for those who do not respond to medical treatment. The most frequently performed procedure is anal sphincteroplasty, useful in patients with proven lesions of the external anal sphincter. Other alternatives include the implantation of an artificial anal sphincter and dynamic graciloplasty, which are very expensive techniques with high rate of complications. If there is no other alternative, a permanent ostomy can be done. In recent years, less invasive techniques have been developed for the treatment of fecal incontinence. Among these, central neuromodulation or sacral root stimulation (SRS) and peripheral neuromodulation or posterior tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) have shown promising results. The aim of this paper is to present 2 cases of patients with fecal incontinence refractory to conventional treatment (medical and surgical) that are successfully treated with central and peripheral neuromodulation respectively. We present 2 cases and a review of the literature available to date.


La incontinencia fecal (IF) es una patología que genera un enorme impacto en la calidad de vida, afectando hasta el 45 por ciento de los pacientes de la tercera edad. El tratamiento es inicialmente conservador mediante cambios dietéticos, fármacos y rehabilitación perineal. La cirugía se reserva para quienes no responden a tratamiento medico. El procedimiento efectuado con más frecuencia es la esfinteroplastía anal, de utilidad en pacientes con lesión demostrada del esfínter anal externo. En casos de IF grave, otras alternativas son la instalación de un esfínter anal artificial y/o la graciloplastía dinámica, procedimientos de alto costo y con un alto porcentaje de complicaciones. En caso de no existir otra alternativa se puede realizar una ostomía definitiva. Durante los últimos años se han desarrollado técnicas mínimamente invasivas para el tratamiento de la incontinencia fecal. Entre éstas, la neuromodulación central o de las raíces sacras (NMS) y últimamente la neuromodulación periférica o estimulación del nervio tibial posterior (ENTP) han mostrado resultados promisorios. Los objetivos de este trabajo son presentar 2 casos clínicos de pacientes con incontinencia fecal refractaria al tratamiento convencional (medico y quirúrgico) que son tratados exitosamente con neuromodulación central y periférica, respectivamente, y realizar una revisión de la literatura disponible a la fecha.

ABSTRACT

La respuesta cortical del Potencial Evocado Somatosensorial del nervio tibial posterior ha mostrado en diferentes investigaciones una gran variabilidad en cuanto a los resultados obtenidos por diferentes autores. Los objetivos de este trabajo fueron evaluar en una muestra de sujetos adultos sanos la distribución topográfica de la respuesta cortical del potencial evocado somatosensorial del nervio tibial posterior empleando un protocolo de registro con 19 derivaciones del Sistema Internacional 10/20 en el equipo MEDICID-4. Se estudiaron 18 sujetos adultos sanos. En todos los sujetos se obtuvo la respuesta cortical P40, manteniéndose los 19 canales de registro, modificándose los filtros a valores entre 0.5 y 300 Hz, y la frecuencia de muestreo se modificó a 1000 Hz. Los resultados muestran una máxima amplitud de la P 40 en línea media. Además, simultáneamente se obtiene dicha respuesta en la propia región centro-parietal ipsilateral, sin existir gran variabilidad intra e interindividuos. De esto se concluye que la estimulación del nervio tibial el pico P40 mostró una distribución cortical centro-parietal tanto en línea media como ipsilateral, con máxima amplitud en esta última, es decir, la P40 se obtuvo paradójicamente con mayor amplitud hacia la misma región del lado estimulado.


The cortical response of the somatosensorial evoked potential of the posterior tibial nerve has shown, in different research works, a great variability in terms of the results obtained by different authors. The aims of this paper were to evaluate in a sample of healthy adult individuals the topographical distribution of the cortical response of the somatosensorial evoked potential of the posterior tibial nerve by using a protocol registration with 19 derivations from the International System 10/20 in the MEDICID-4 team. Eighteen adult individuals were studied. In each individual the cortical response was P40, remaining the 19 registration canals, modifying the filter between 0.5 and 300 Hz, and the sampling frequency was modified to 1000 Hz. Results show a maximum amplitude of the P40 in the middle line. In addition, simultaneously, such response is registered in the central parietal ipsilateral region, with no great intraindividual and interindividual variability. As a conclusion, the stimulation of the tibial nerve and peak P40 showed a cortical central parietal distribution in the middle line, as well as ipsilaterally, with maximum amplitude in the latter. P40 was obtained paradoxically with a greater amplitude towards the same region of the stimulated site.
