SESSION DESCRIPTION
This INUS-endorsed lecture will explore the current evidence supporting the use of neuromodulation therapies in patients with neurological conditions affecting lower urinary tract function. The session will review the pathophysiological basis for neuromodulation in neurogenic bladder dysfunction and highlight key clinical studies demonstrating its efficacy in improving both storage and voiding symptoms.
With a focus on sacral neuromodulation, tibial nerve stimulation, and newer implantable technologies, this 30-minute spotlight will provide a concise yet comprehensive overview tailored to clinicians managing complex neuro-urological patients. Attendees will gain insights into patient selection, outcomes, and future directions in this rapidly evolving field.
Presented by a leading expert in neuro-urology, this session is a must-attend for professionals seeking to stay abreast of innovations in neuromodulation and their clinical implications in neurological care.
