PTNS Clinic
The Essex Medi Centre PTNS Clinic is led by Ms. Samreen Rafiq, an American Board Registered Specialist Neurophysiologist with over seven years of experience in performing various adult and paediatric neurophysiological operations. The PTNS procedures take place in Essex Medi Centre’s state-of-the-art facility using latest technology equipment available.
Percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) is a non-invasive treatment for overactive bladder and associated symptoms of urinary urgency, urinary frequency and urge incontinence. The treatment involves applying electrical impulses to the nerves that control bladder function.
PTNS can help with:
• Urinary frequency – urinating more than 8 times in 24 hours
• Urinary urgency – a strong, compelling need to urinate that cannot be delayed
• Urge incontinence – wetting accidents which occur before reaching a toilet
