Bilateral Comparison of Unilateral Sacral Neuromodulation Test Stimulation in the Treatment of Neurogenic Bladder
China29 participantsStarted 2026-03-31
Plain-language summary
Neurogenic bladder (NB) is a general term for a series of lower urinary tract symptoms and complications caused by bladder and/or urethral dysfunction caused by nervous system lesions. Neurogenic bladder brings physical and psychological pain to patients, affects interpersonal relationships, and seriously reduces the quality of life of patients.
Sacral neuromodulation (SNM) is an effective method for the treatment of refractory lower urinary tract dysfunction. A previous study analyzed bilateral peripheral nerve evaluation (PNE) in 62 patients with idiopathic and neurogenic bladder. The results of this clinical study showed that 51.6% of the patients (32 cases) achieved symptomatic improvement. Although a prospective controlled study was not performed, the authors suggest that bilateral treatment may improve symptoms in patients with idiopathic and neurogenic bladder compared with unilateral treatment, compared with remission rates in other previous clinical studies.
At present, there are few reports on the application of bilateral sacral neuromodulation stimulation in the treatment of voiding dysfunction, and it is still controversial whether the efficacy of bilateral stimulation is better than unilateral stimulation. Therefore, we intend to conduct a prospective, randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bilateral sacral neuromodulation test stimulation in the treatment of neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction.

Inclusion criteria
✓. age ≥16 years old;
✓. The nerve injury was incomplete injury below grade B, which was diagnosed as neurogenic bladder;
✓. Overactive bladder with and/or low compliance bladder (overactive bladder was defined as detrusor contraction during filling, increased intravesical pressure, and early emptying before maximum bladder capacity was reached; Low compliance bladder was defined as loss of the ability to relax during bladder filling, progressive increase of bladder pressure, early emptying of bladder pressure increased, ≤20ml/cmH20).
✓. Intermittent catheterization (CIC) can be performed by themselves or CIC can be performed by nursing staff;
✓. the patient's physical condition is stable and can be discharged for treatment;
✓. Participants voluntarily participated in the clinical study, and they provided written informed consent before the study began
