Peripheral nerve stimulation via lumbosacral route has shown to modulate cortical and subcortical brain areas which seem to control the complex process of micturion, i.e. sensation of bladder filling and the timing of micturition. The present study was conducted to investigate the changes in brain activity during modulation of various brain areas after transcutaneous posterior tibial nerve stimulation (TcPTNS) for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in pediatric patients.
