| Research Abstract |
We developed a novel method to assess storage symptoms in residents of geriatric facilities. Transcutaneous electrical stimulation was used as lower urinary tract rehabilitation for the elderly individuals with storage symptoms and constipation. Storage symptoms were assessed using the novel assessment at baseline, at the end of the intervention and at 1 month after the intervention. Defecation and blood pressure were evaluated daily for 1 month before the intervention, during the intervention and for 1 month after the intervention. We found that the use of this intervention significantly improved the patients’ urinary incontinence and urgency, changed the stool form patterns, and showed no side effects.
