Electroestimulación percutánea en adultos con incontinencia urinaria.

Introduction. Urinary incontinence (UI) is considered a condition that significantly affects the quality of life of those who suffer from it. Although there are several conservative therapeutic alternatives, one of them is percutaneous posterior tibial nerve stimulation (P-PTNS), a noninvasive neuromodulation technique that acts on the nerve roots that control the bladder and pelvic floor. Objective. To analyze the effectiveness of percutaneous posterior tibial nerve stimulation as a conservative treatment in adults with urinary incontinence. Methodology. The research was bibliographic, documentary, and descriptive. Several articles published between 2014 and 2025 were compiled through scientific databases such as Medline, Scopus, Elsevier, and ScienceDirect. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were also applied, as well as the PEDro scale, which evaluates the methodological quality of the studies. Results. Among the studies reviewed, most show a significant decrease in daytime and nighttime urination frequency, a reduction in episodes of urgency and incontinence, as well as improvements in urodynamic parameters that determine urine storage and expulsion capacity, in addition to improvements in patients' quality of life. It is important to emphasize that minimal adverse effects and good treatment tolerance were reported. Conclusion: P-PTNS is established as an effective, safe, and well-tolerated alternative for the conservative treatment of urinary incontinence, especially in cases that do not respond to other therapies.
