“…In the clinical setting, sacral nerve stimulation is the procedure offered most commonly in cases that are refractory to current pharmacological and chemodenervation approaches, although other targets are also being used (see Janssen et al, 2017 for a recent review). In animal studies the net has been cast wider and there are several indications from studies in anesthetized cats and rats that stimulation of the tibial, saphenous, pudendal, dorsal penile, dorsal clitoral, and pelvic nerves all have the potential to modulate voiding ( Snellings and Grill, 2012 ; Su et al, 2012a , b ; Kovacevic and Yoo, 2014 ; Jen et al, 2016 ; Langdale et al, 2017 ; Moazzam and Yoo, 2017 ; Uy et al, 2017 ). In these studies, nerve stimulation was able to inhibit or reduce the frequency of voiding, or to decrease the rate of micturition-like contractions produced under isovolumetric conditions by producing an increase in bladder capacity.…”
