Abstract: Underactive bladder is the main part of lower urinary tract symptoms. As a conservative treatment, intravesical electrical stimulation can improve the function of bladder sensation, and promote micturition. Intravesical electrical stimulation is effective and safe on underactive bladder, both idiopathic and neurogenic. Rectilinear biphasic waveform, low frequency and short pulse width stimulation was recommended.

Key words: intravesical electrical stimulation, underactive bladder, effectiveness, safety, parameter, review
