Measuring the sensations of urge and bladder filling during cystometry in urge incontinence and the effects of neuromodulation

As urge and urgency contribute greatly to a patient's symptoms, it follows that sensory evaluation combined with noninvasive neuromodulation during urodynamics may provide new criteria for improving patient selection for an implantable stimulator. The purpose of this research was to develop and validate an objective measure of bladder sensations during filling cystometry and then to apply this technique to evaluate the effects of neuromodulation on the sensations of urge measured in this way.

Objective measurement of bladder sensation: use of a new patient‐activated device and response to neuromodulation
- MedicineBJU international
- 2005
It was shown that the sensation of urgency can be suppressed by neuromodulation in most patients tested; this suppression occurs with improvements in bladder capacity and voided volumes, and it was suggested that urodynamics with concurrent sensory evaluation may offer a more useful assessment tool for selecting those patients for therapies such as neurommodulation who present predominantly with the symptom of urgency.

To evaluate the reliability of spontaneously reported bladder sensations during real and faked cystometry in patients with non‐neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction, Cystometry is used as a surrogate for pelvic organ prolapse testing.
