Acute Effects of Transcutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation on Autonomic Nervous System Activity in Healthy Volunteers: An Exploratory Study
Acute TTNS enhances parasympathetic and suppresses sympathetic activity, with partially sustained effects after stimulation. Younger age predicts stronger vagal responsiveness, suggesting age-dependent neuromodulatory efficacy. Validation in OAB populations is warranted.
