Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This study seeks to examine the response of the bladder to different pudendal nerve stimulation frequencies, by studying patients who have been previously-implanted with pudendal nerve neurostimulators.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Device: Medtronic Interstim II Model 3058 Neurostimulator
N/A

Detailed Description

The pudendal nerve goes to the urethra, anus, and other areas of the pelvic floor. Electrical stimulation of this nerve can help with bladder, bowel, and sexual problems, and pelvic pain. Researchers do not fully understand how the nerve helps with these functions or how the anatomy is different between people. Successful stimulation of the pudendal nerve may help improve medical care for future patients with bladder problems, pelvic pain, bowel problems, and/or sexual problems.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Cystometrogram

The bladder will be filled to different volumes and electrical stimulation will be applied to the pudendal nerve via the implanted neurostimulator.

Device: Medtronic Interstim II Model 3058 Neurostimulator
Patients will undergo stimulation of the pudendal nerve. All stimulation parameters used will be within the normal hard-coded limits of the implantable pulse generator (IPG).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Evoked bladder contractions of at least 20 centimeters of water (cmH2O) [Visit 1, approximately 1 week after consent]

    At least 50% of participants
