  1. OAB denotes the overactive bladder syndrome group, n represents the number of individual investigated cells, RMP is the resting membrane potential, Rin is input resistance, and Cm is cell capacitance. Comparison of DRG in the OAB and sham-intervention groups revealed no significant difference in Cm (p > 0.05, Student’s t test), while the RMP was significantly less negative and Rin was significantly decreased in the OAB group (*p < 0.05 for both, Student’s t test)
