Peroneal Electric Transcutaneous NeuroModulation (eTNM^®): A Novel Method for the Treatment of the Overactive Bladder

Table 1

The electric output characteristics of various electrodes used for peripheral neuromodulation.

	Current (mA)	Charge (µC)	Energy (mJ)	Square (mm^2)	Current density (mA/mm^2)
L-type needle electrode	43.4	72.0	0.6	28.9	1.503
URIS^® active electrode	45.8	68.0	0.4	94.5	0.484
Stimex^® self-adhesive electrode	38.4	74.0	0.1	2500.0	0.015

All types of active electrodes were consecutively connected to the URIS^® device, the output voltage was set to 20 V, and the impulse width was 2 ms. The data show that the needle electrode provided the highest energy and current density. Comparing the noninvasive electrodes, the URIS^® electrode provided 4 times higher energy and 30 times higher current density compared to the Stimex^® adhesive electrode.
