NCT02583529

Brief Summary

Dysfunctions of the lower urinary tract are non-motor symptoms common engines in Parkinson's disease (PD). Urodynamic changes in PD include overactive bladder (OB), characterized by urgency with or without urge incontinence , usually with frequency and nocturia . The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and effectiveness of the treatment of OB in patients with PD with the use of a specific treatment: Posterior Tibial Nerve Electrostimulation (PTNE).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Voiding diary

    Consists of daily annotation fluid intake, frequency (number) and volume of urination (mL), daily activities and episodes of incontinence (number), need and number of hygienic protections, etc. It is a cost-effective method of initially assessing urinary complaints when compared to the test pad (pad test) and standardized symptom scales.The voiding diary will be filled before and after treatment that will last 03 months (baseline and 3 months). The patient will record your urinary habits for one day (24 hours) before starting treatment and after completion.

    3 months

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Hoehn and Yahr Disability Stage of scale

    3 months

  • King's Health Questionnaire

    3 months

Study Arms (2)

Back Tibial Nerve Electrostimulation

EXPERIMENTAL

They will be assessed before and after 12 weeks of treatment with home PTNE through specific form of questionnaires assessing incontinence, quality of life and voiding diary. After the end of treatment will be made up of patients to verify the effectiveness of treatment in 30 to 90 days.

Device: Back Tibial Nerve Electrostimulation

Placebo Electrostimulation

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

They will be assessed before and after 12 weeks of treatment with home PTNE through specific form of questionnaires assessing incontinence, quality of life and voiding diary. After the end of treatment will be made up of patients to verify the effectiveness of treatment in 30 to 90 days.

Device: Placebo Electrostimulation

Interventions

The BTNE will be made with electrodes Silver Spike Point (SSP) set in an ankle with the negative pole positioned on the inner malleolus and the positive approximately 05 cm below the previous, and connected to a portable stimulator powered by rechargeable battery developed by the Biomedical Engineering Department of the HCPA.

  • Pregnancy and postpartum;
  • Urinary Incontinence of pure stress incontinence or urinary Mixed with predominance of the stress component;
  • Pacemaker or defibrillator;
  • Metal prostheses;
  • Application of botulinum toxin into the bladder and / or pelvic muscles last year;
  • Current TENS treatment in the pelvic region, lower back and / or legs;
  • Prior Urinary incontinence surgery;
  • Current bladder carcinoma;
  • Cognitive impairment likely to prevent implementation of the proposed treatment;
  • Not understand / sign informed consent.
