This is the first RCT that evaluates the efficacy of the transcutaneous technique compared to the PTNS, and demonstrates non-inferiority in decreasing daytime frequency. Reduction in urgency incontinence episodes and improvement of QoL were also observed. These results and ease of application of transcutaneous neuromodulation may lead to a greater prescribing of this technique.
