Abstract | OBJECTIVE: METHODS: RESULTS: CONCLUSIONS: TO CLAIM CME CREDITS: Complete the self-assessment activity and evaluation online at http://www.physiatry.org/JournalCME. CME OBJECTIVES: Upon completion of this article, the reader should be able to: (1) Determine the therapeutic effect of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation ( TENS) on neurogenic overactive bladder (NOAB); (2) Demonstrate the effectiveness of reflex suppression of the bladder using the TENS applied over the sacral region as a stimulation location; and (3) Confirm the TENS method using biphasic square waves with pulse durations of 150 μs and pulse frequencies of 20 Hz as applied is shown to be superior to anticholinergic drugs in managing NOAB. LEVEL: Advanced. ACCREDITATION: The Association of Academic Physiatrists is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians.The Association of Academic Physiatrists designates this journal-based CME activity for a maximum of 1.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™. Physicians should only claim credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
