“…Recommended pulse rates of 10-20 pps reduce this risk and have, therefore, been used more extensively. Thiiroff et al [6], in 1986, reported very similar erectile responses in dogs when the sacral spinal nerves were electrostimulated with either 20 or 200 pps at a constant pulse width of 0.2 ms. Lue et al [5], in 1985, performed prolonged caver nous nerve stimulations in monkeys with an intensity of 8 V, a pulse width of 0.2 ms and frequencies between 7 and 200 pps. They reported a significant difference in the duration of erection: > 1 h at 7 pps; 3-5 min followed by a partial erection at 33 pps, and only 30-60 s followed also by a partial erection at 200 pps.…”

“…There is also evidence to suggest that sacral nerve stimulation, specifically stimulation of S1, S2, and S3, can electrically reverse erectile dysfunction due to spinal cord injuries and other causes [168]. Some of this effect may be due to a modulation of the neurogenic vaso-edema that appears to be a normal part of erectile function [169].…”

Many people suffering with interstitial cystitis (IC) and related pelvic pain syndromes do not benefit from the standard medical or surgical treatments. The pathophysiology of IC bears striking similarities to a wide variety of disorders driven by neurogenic inflammation, many of which may someday be controlled through neuromodulation. Because the bladder is accessible to repeated inspection, functional monitoring, biopsy, and collection of effluents, the study of neuromodulation in IC promises to yield important insights into the successful application of neuromodulatory approaches to diseases of the pelvis and other areas. Clinical experience suggests that neuromodulation in pelvic pain syndromes can successfully normalize the motor function of the bladder and pelvic muscles, as well as their sensoria. Useful neuromodulatory approaches that have potential for the treatment of intractable IC and related syndromes, such as certain cases of chronic prostatitis and pelvic floor dysfunction, include stimulation of afferent pathways using high-frequency stimulation of sacral roots and low-frequency stimulation of motor fibers innervating pelvic floor muscles via sacral roots or the posterior tibial nerve. While the lifetime incidence of chronic pelvic pain in American women is estimated to be as high as 33%, fewer than 1% of these patients are ever seen by pain specialists. Developing neuromodulatory strategies for IC and pelvic pain may also hold promise for the effective treatment of certain syndromes involving intractable urinary retention, lower bowel disorders, or sexual dysfunction.
