Sacral neuromodulation therapy is a safe, user-friendly, clinically-proven therapy that uses sacral nerve stimulation, also known as sacral neuromodulation, which may help restore healthy communication between the brain, bladder, and bowel.
Overactive bladder, bowel incontinence, or urinary retention symptoms may be caused by abnormal communication between the brain, the bladder, and the bowel.
Normally, as your bladder and bowel fill, nerve signals are sent to your brain to alert you. Then, the brain sends nerve signals down to empty your bladder and bowel. When this process does not work as expected, it can lead to symptoms of urinary and bowel incontinence.
Axonics® Therapy uses a miniature implant to provide stimulation to the nerves that control the bladder and bowel. This may help restore normal communication between the brain and the bladder and bowel, which can result in an improvement of symptoms.
Axonics Therapy offers the ability to trial and assess symptom improvement prior to undergoing the full implant procedure. The trial includes a lead placement and external device used over a few days. Consult with your doctor to find out if this option may work for you.
Axonics Therapy offers a choice between two long-lasting implant device options to match your lifestyle. Both implants come with a patient remote control.
*Depending on therapy settings
With all medical procedures, there are risks associated with the procedure and the use of the device, including long term implantation.
