URGE INCONTINENCE
Indication
The bladder contracts abnormally (detrusor overactivity) and presses on
the urine, increasing the pressure within the bladder.
Effects
This treatment relies on the reduction of detrusor activity by stimulation
of an inhibitory reflex from sensory nerve endings in the perineal region.
The electrical parameters must therefore be created so as to excite
these myelinated afferent nerve fibres at the frequency that produces
optimum activation of the inhibitory reflex.
Electrodes
Use of an intravaginal probe.
Intensity
Gradually increase the energies until the patient feels the stimulation.
Then increase the energies again to a value equal to three times that of
the perception threshold.
