Neuromodulation in neurogenic bladder
نویسندگان
چکیده
While neuromodulation is a well-established treatment option for patients with non-neurogenic overactive bladder and urinary retention, its applicability to the neurogenic bladder population has only recently been examined more in depth. In this article we will discuss the outcomes, contraindications, and special considerations of sacral and percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) in patients with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction.

Neurogenic bladder resulting from spinal cord injury and spina bifida has a profound impact on voiding function. This article reviews the current literature with regards to electrical stimulation for neurogenic bladder and the clinical outcomes associated with sacral neuromodulation, pudendal neuromodulation, posterior tibial nerve stimulation, and the Finetech-Brindley posterior/anterior stimu...
متن کاملChallenges in Sacral Neuromodulation
Sacral neuromodulation (SNM) is an effective and increasingly used therapeutic option for refractory urge incontinence, chronic urinary retention and symptoms of urgency-frequency. The potential for neuromodulation has also been shown in patients with interstitial cystitis and neurogenic urge incontinence secondary to refractory detrusor hyperreflexia. With the increasing number of patients, ob...
متن کاملSacral neuromodulation for chronic pain conditions.
Some of the pelvic pain syndromes seem to have features of neurogenic inflammation and neuropathic pain in common. As opposed to being separate disease entities, they may represent a spectrum of clinical presentations of CRPS I of the pelvis. Sacral nerve root stimulation provides good symptomatic relief of pain and voiding dysfunction. The techniques of retrograde root stimulation may offer su...
متن کاملNew treatments for neurogenic detrusor overactivity
5 528 Patients with neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) are a heterogeneous group with different underlying neurologic conditions associated with several urinary symptoms and systemic complications. The first-line, mainstay treatment of NDO are antimuscarinic drugs, but unfortunately they show a low adherence over the years. Thus, in recent years new effective and less invasive strategies we...
