Storage symptoms are experienced during the storage phase of the bladder and include 
daytime frequency and nocturia. The Standardization Committee of the International 
Continence Society (ICS) defined increased bladder sensation as “symptoms such as 
feeling of an early and persistent desire to void”. 
The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of medium frequency electrotherapy 
(interferential currents) treatment for increased bladder sensation, urgency and LUTS. 
Design: Quasi-experimental, longitudinal, pre-/post-. Level of evidence II/III. Case-
control study, non-randomized inclusion of consecutive type. 
Informed consent before inclusion in the study, as established by the Declaration of 
Helsinki.  
Statistical analysis of data using SPSS 22.0 for Windows.  
Statistical methods: descriptive statistics for quantitative variables (procedure 
DESCRIPTIVE) and descriptive statistics for qualitative variables (FREQUENCIES 
procedure), contingency tables for the relationship between qualitative variables 
(procedure CROSSTABS, chi-square test and T-student). A p<0.005 is considered 
significant.
