- Recommendation ID
- IPG735/01
- Question
Evidence on the safety of transcutaneous electrical neuromuscular stimulation for urinary incontinence raises no major safety concerns. Evidence on its efficacy is limited in quantity and quality. Therefore, this procedure should only be used with special arrangements for clinical governance, consent, and audit or research. Find out what special arrangements mean on the NICE interventional procedures guidance page.
- Any explanatory notes
(if applicable) Further research should include randomised controlled trials. These should compare transcutaneous neuromuscular electrical stimulationplus pelvic floor muscle exercises with pelvic floor muscle exercises alone.
