Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation in urinary retention.
A 53-year-old woman with chronic back pain manifesting urinary frequency and incomplete voiding, presumably due to epidural scarring, was treated with standard TENS. Magnitude of residual urine and urinary frequency were decreased to acceptable limits and maintained in the absence of TENS treatment, allowing discontinuance of daily catheterization.
