Neuromodulation Significantly Reduces Painful Symptoms, Improves Health.(for women with interstitial cystitis)
2001 MAR 15 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- by Maryclaire Lindgren, staff medical writer -- Women diagnosed with interstitial cystitis that is not controlled by standard therapies may get relief with percutaneous sacral nerve root neuromodulation.
C.F. Maher and associates at the University of Queensland in Australia report that most women whose S3 sacral roots were stimulated asked for a permanent implant.
"Women with intractable interstitial cystitis respond favorably to percutaneous sacral stimulation with significant improvement in pelvic pain, daytime frequency, nocturia, urgency, and average voided volume. Permanent sacral implantation may be an effective treatment modality in refractory interstitial cystitis, but further, long-term evaluation is required," the researchers said.
Maher et al. evaluated 15 women with refractory interstitial cystitis. The women underwent percutaneous stimulation of the S3 sacral roots ("Percutaneous sacral nerve root neuromodulation for intractable interstitial cystitis," Journal of Urology, March, 2001;165(3):884-886).
