21 Sacral Nerve Modulation: Theory Amplification-Basis for effective voiding: CNS must be able to perceive, process and act upon smooth muscle activity Provides sustained/maintained detrusor activity to allow sufficient bladder emptying Coordination: Bladder-sphincter synergy Sphincter remains open with micturition (bladder contraction) Sphincter remains closed when storing Timing-Reflects volitional control over autonomic process Toilet training allows governing over automatic process Allows volitional voiding over wide range of bladder volumes Leng & Chancellor UNA 2005 Guarding Reflex Contraction of EUS Maintains continence Despite increase volume Despite increase intravescial pressure Activation via stimulatory spinal interneurons Relaxes during void Brain inhibits GR Relaxes via activation of negative spinal interneuron Leng & Chancellor UNA 2005 De Groat et al, Brain Res
