Device	URIS^®	URIS^®	UROstim2^®	UROstim2^®	UROstim2^®
Electrodes	URIS^®	Stimex^®	Stimex^®	Stimex^®	Stimex^®
Impulse width (ms)	2.0	2.0	0.2	0.2	0.2
Frequency (Hz)	4.0	4.0	4.0	10.0	10.0
Voltage (V)	22.2 ± 6.2	59.3 ± 17.0	52.2 ± 13.7	49.2 ± 14.1	62.5 ± 23.7
Current (mA)	6.8 ± 1.4	34.9 ± 10.0	43.5 ± 11.4	41.0 ± 11.8	27.8 ± 7.1
Energy (mJ)	0.2 ± 0.1	0.4 ± 0.3	0.5 ± 0.2	0.4 ± 0.2	0.3 ± 0.2
VAS	13.8 ± 16.5	83.8 ± 11.1	56.3 ± 7.5	66.3 ± 12.5	34.8 ± 17.4

The data demonstrate that the standard Peroneal eTNM^® uses a significantly lower impulse intensity and is associated with significantly less discomfort compared to the standard TTNS. VAS: visual analog scale.
