Percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation: A new treatment for faecal incontinence.

Allison, M., et al. (2009). Gastrointestinal Nursing, 7(1), 19-26.

Percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation is a new non-invasive treatment for patients with faecal incontinence that can be given in an outpatient setting by specialist nurses. It is safe and cost effective (Shafik et al, 2003) and early data suggest it is as effective as established alternative treatments. This article reviews the development of the technique and early clinlical studies into its effectiveness, how it is carried out and the experience at Barts and the London NHS Trust. It then goes on to discuss the implications for specialist practice and the need for continuing research to extend one's knowledge of the treatment option for faecal incontinence.
