Sacral Neuromodulation is a guideline-recommended therapy that restores normal control of the bladder and bowel. Axonics Sacral Neuromodulation Therapy provides gentle stimulation to the nerves that control the bladder and bowel. The stimulation can restore normal communication between the brain and the bladder and bowel, which can result in an improvement of your symptoms, whether you are suffering from overactive bladder, bowel incontinence, or urinary retention.
To determine if Sacral Neuromodulation is the right treatment option for you, it is important to consult with your doctor. This animation demonstrates the Axonics Basic Trial, also known as a "PNE" or "Peripheral Nerve Evaluation".

I had the trial procedure performed last week by my urologist while under general anesthesia. My symptoms improved dramatically. Frequency was down from 18 times per day to 9. Volume went from 85mL to near 300mL. Slept the whole night through.
I'm thrilled with the results and my permanent implant is scheduled in six weeks.

How old are you?

@@juanconsuegra6092 I'm 69. I had the permanent implant in early December, and it's working great.
