Abstract
Neuromodulation of peripheral nerves has long been viewed as a viable alternative treatment modality for suppressing Neurogenic Detrusor Overactivity (NDO). Research has continued over decades yet translation into patient use remains elusive. Questions have been asked as to the long term efficacy of continuous stimulation and a viable system using conditional stimulation has so far not been realised. Herein lies an opportunity for the research and development of a practical, non-invasive, neuromodulation system to treat NDO. To do so, further investigation of practical stimulation triggers and regimes is necessary. This paper presents the design of a wireless device for flexible delivery and assessment of stimulation techniques outside of the laboratory.
