SACRAL NERVE STIMULATION

Sacral Neuromodulation (SNM), also known as Sacral Nerve Stimulation, is a therapy that can help people who experience bladder and bowel problems, and the treatment can be a life changing therapy.

SNM is not suitable for everyone and your physician or healthcare professional can discuss this option.

Sacral Neuromodulation Therapy can help to restore normal bladder or bowel function. The therapy addresses the communication problem between the bladder or bowel and the brain, and a diagnostic trial of therapy is used for a few weeks to see if it is successful.

SNM is also used for the treatment of an overactive bladder, urinary retention, urgency frequency, urge incontinence, and fecal incontinence.

Sacral neuromodulation (SNM) is performed because millions of people are affected by overactive bladder and are refractory to behavioral modifications or pharmacotherapy. Indications for SNM include urinary retention, urgency frequency, urge incontinence, and fecal incontinence. This activity describes sacral neuromodulation and reviews the interprofessional team’s role in evaluating and treating patients who undergo this procedure.
