Comparison of Active Stimulating Electrodes of Sacral Neuromodulation

ConclusionsObjective motor responses to SNM as a functional indicator for optimal lead placement may be used to demonstrate that the contact which is most proximal to the foramen (electrode 3) is an optimal electrode to trigger an “on‐target” response to lower intensity stimulation. Data from this preclinical work suggest that there are several principles that may be referenced to simplify and expedite the programming process in clinical practice.
