Cost effectiveness
PAD
The trial indicated there was no evidence of clinical effectiveness of TTNS. In the absence of benefit, a claim for cost-effectiveness cannot be made unless there is a reduction in resource use resulting from the new intervention. The use of TTNS did not reduce resources use in terms of staff time or continence pad usage compared to current practice. As the TTNS intervention is in addition to usual care and therefore incurs an additional cost it is not cost effective.
