[Stimulating electroneuromyography in the diagnosis of neurogenic disorders of the pelvic floor muscles].

The article describes the technology for detecting and studying late phenomenon in stimulating electroneuromyography in order to objectively assess the state of innervation. The standard study of the motor response (M-response), Pudendal nerve terminal motor latency testing (PNTML), using the St. Mark's electrode from the external sphincter and pelvic floor muscles provides information only about efferent innervation at the distal part of the n. pudendus. At the same time, there are sparse reports in the literature on the study of the state of the mixed-fiber pudendal nerve along its entire length from its exit from the intervertebral foramen to the distal part using the St. Mark's electrode, the method is not clearly described, which, accordingly, causes the lack of application of the technique in clinical practice. The authors of this article cite the methodology for studying the late phenomenon in the form of a mixed feedback-reflex in stimulating electroneuromyography, describing the need to consistently use both methods of its registration.
