Re: OAB Overactive Bladder -- PTNS effective
Tried it for my CPPS Sx's. 12 weekly sessions. Absolutely no effect. 
Age:28 | Onset Age:16 | Symptoms: burning pain extending from base of scrotum to tip of penis, Bladder Urgency/frequency (4-5 times daily), depressive feelings but no nocturia, or sex related Sx's. Work up by 3 different urologists. Tried every treatment known to man: Wise/Anderson book and clinic, cognitive therapy, PT, Posterior Tibial Nerve Stimulation (PTNS), plus Prosta-Q, Quercetin, (3) antibiotics, Vesicare, Uroxatrol, Elimiron, SSRI's, Effexor, Valium, Celebrex, Motrin, etc. | Helped By: Well, I wish I could say something has helped me, long term ...but it hasn't. Exercise helps short term-I feel better after running 15-20 min, hot baths give me some short term relief.| Worsened By: "Stress" may play a role, however my symptoms are cyclic , some days I feel ok, other days I feel really lousy | Other comments:

Re: OAB Overactive Bladder -- PTNS effective
Actually I got 18 treatments over a 3 month period because I volunteered to serve as a " training device" for my urologist's staff. those extra 8 treatments were free because the clinic just stated to do the PTNS treatments and he wanted to train his staff. Several times I received treatments in both ankles on the same day. The treatments were not bad, just a couple of pin pricks and a little discomfort when the nerve was stimulated with the current and my toes flexed involuntarily.
My symptoms of episodes of urinary urgency and burning pain between my legs were not diminished. Other people's experience my be different.
