Abstract

Aims: To assess the efficacy of transcutaneous posterior tibial nerve stimulation (TPTNS) on functional voiding disorder (FVD) and investigate the utility of urine biomarkers (UBs: nerve growth factor, transforming growth factor-beta 1, and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 2) in diagnosis and follow-up.
