Conditional neuromodulation of neurogenic detrusor overactivity using transrectal stimulation in patients with spinal cord injury: A proof of principle study.

It has been shown for the first time that conditional neuromodulation can be delivered and triggered via a single biocompatible device placed in the anal canal. The pudendal nerves lying in Alcock's canal were stimulated through the wall of the anal canal, and the dyssynergic activity of the EAS was used to detect NDO and trigger neuromodulation giving significant increases in bladder capacity and reduction in detrusor pressure in six male subjects with SCI.
