Incidence of Urinary Retention Following OnabotulinumtoxinA: A Multi‐Centre Audit Challenging the Necessity of Universal CISC Training

Neurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Clinical guidelines, such as NICE NG123, prior to OnabotulinumtoxinA (BoNT‐A) injections for overactive bladder (OAB), patients are counselled regarding clean intermittent self‐catheterisation (CISC) and are willing and able to perform catheterisation if required. Subsequently, universal pre‐procedure education imposes a significant

Sensing in Sacral Neuromodulation: Objective, Individualized Stimulation Response Thresholds Directly From the Lead

Neurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Sacral neuromodulation (SNM) therapy today relies on visually observed motor responses (e.g., anal bellows contraction, toe flexion) and subjective patient feedback (pelvic region sensations) to optimize lead placement and perform device programming.

Core stability in women with and without chronic pelvic pain

PM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Physical activity (PA) and core stability levels are unknown for women with musculoskeletal chronic pelvic pain (CPP) compared to healthy women. At this time, there is no validated treatment method aimed specifically at CPP. Objective To elucidate the PA habits and core stability of women with and without CPP.

Percutaneous peripheral nerve stimulation as an ancillary treatment following nerve repair surgery

PM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Neuropathic pain after peripheral nerve injury severely degrades quality of life. Peripheral nerve stimulation (PN‐Stim) is cleared by the U.S, Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of acute and chronic pain. This broad indication supports its potential use at the time of peripheral nerve repair in patients reporting ...
