Abstract
Purpose. To find out a therapeutic value of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in patients with disorders in the lower urinary tract, sexual dysfunction and chronic pelvic pain. Materials and methods. Literature search was done in databases of PubMed, Medline, Google Scholar, RSCI, Russian Medicine without date limitations using the following keywords: "transcranial magnetic stimulation", "lower urinary tract symptoms", "urinary incontinence", "neurogenic bladder", "Parkinson's disease", "multiple sclerosis", "stroke", "chronic pelvic pain", "sexual dysfunction". Results. Articles on rhythmic TMS (rTMS) effectiveness in urological pathology and chronic pelvic pain were selected by the researchers. They have analyzed rTMS effectiveness in both neurogenic (Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis) and idiopathic disorders. Conclusion. rTMS, as a non-invasive non-medicamentous technique, seems promising for application in urology. Electromagnetic exposure to the brain allows to modulate CNS work which opens new possibilities for treatment of functional urological disorders of both neurogenic (Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis) and idiopathic origin. Future more expanded and controlled studies on rTMS application in urology should better define the effectiveness of the discussed technique and extend indications for its application.References
