Neuromodulación periférica transcutánea en el manejo de la vejiga hiperactiva pediátrica

Abstract

Trabajo Fin de Máster Universitario en Urología Pediátrica. Tutor: Dr. Pedro López Pereira ; Cotutor: Dr. Iván Somoza Argibay. INTRODUCCIÓN La electroneuroestimulación vesical con TENS ha surgido como nueva alternativa en el manejo de las disfunciones del tracto urinario inferior. Nuestro objetivo fue evaluar la eficacia y seguridad de esta terapia en niños con diagnóstico de vejiga hiperactiva. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS Estudio prospectivo de pacientes con diagnóstico de vejiga hiperactiva y tratados con electroneuroestimulación. El TENS se mantuvo durante 6 meses. Evaluamos la severidad de la sintomatología urinaria utilizando el cuestionario PLUTSS (Pediatric Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Score). Evaluamos la calidad de vida percibida por los pacientes antes y al finalizar el tratamiento con una escala subjetiva numérica (0 no afectación-3 afectación máxima). RESULTADOS Un total de 21 pacientes (13 niñas) fueron incluidos en el estudio, con una edad media de 10 años (Rango: 6-16). Los síntomas más frecuentes fueron: Urgencia (100%) e incontinencia (89%). Encontramos diferencias estadísticamente significativas (p<0.05) en los valores medios del PLUTSS antes de iniciar tratamiento y al finalizar el mismo: PLUTSS inicial 17.8 (Rango: 10-29), a los 3 meses: 7.21 (Rango: 2-16), a los 6 meses: 5.6 (Rango: 3-12). El volumen miccional máximo de todos los pacientes aumentó a los 6 meses de tratamiento. Todos los pacientes sintieron una mejora en su calidad de vida al finalizar el estudio (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONES La electroneuromodulación con TENS parece una opción segura y eficaz en el manejo de la vejiga hiperactiva, sin embargo, deben ser realizados más estudios randomizados para demostrar su efectividad y protocolizar su aplicación en los pacientes en edad pediátrica.

INTRODUCTION Electroneurostimulation of the bladder with TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) has emerged in recent years as a new alternative in the management of the dysfunctions of the lower urinary tract. Our objective was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of this therapy in children with overactive bladder. MATERIAL AND METHODS This is a prospective study of patients diagnosed with overactive bladder and treated with electroneuro-stimulation. The system was maintained for 6 months. We evaluated the severity of urinary symptomatology using the PLUTSS (Pediatric Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Score) questionnaire. A subjetive escale was used to establish the quality of life of all patients and their families. RESULTS A total of 21 patients were included in the study, with an average age of 10 years (Range: 6- 16). The most frequent symptoms were: urgency (100%) and incontinence (89%). We found statistically significant differences (p<0.05) in the mean PLUTSS values before starting treatment and at the end of treatment: initial PLUTSS was 17.8 (Range: 10-29), at 3 months was 7.21 (Range: 2-16), at 6 months: 5.6 (Range: 3-12). The maximum voiding volume of all patients increased after 6 months of treatment. All patients felt an improvement in their quality of life at the end of the study (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The electroneuromodulation with TENS is a safe and effective option in the management of the overactive bladder in paediatric population, however, more randomized studies should be done to protocolize and clarify the effectiveness of this therapeutic approach.
