Abstract

The regulation of micturition involves complex neurophysiologic pathways, and its understanding has grown immensely over the past decade. Alternative approaches and applied technologies in the treatment of bladder dysfunction have minimized the complications that result from neurogenic bladder. The use of natural bladder mechanoreceptors and electroneneurographic (ENG) signal recordings from afferent nerves to chronically monitor bladder volume is a promising concept, but the technology to accomplish this has proven to be a great biomedical engineering challenge. The focus of this paper will be to describe the current state of ENG signal recording as a method to detect bladder fullness.

The authors record nerve activity from the Dorsal Root Ganglion taking advantage of the segregated nerve fibers, prove this is feasible, and accurately decode the signal to estimate bladder volume.CrossRefPubMed

The authors leverage their experience and skill with cats to stimulate, not just listen, to the S1 and S2 dorsal root ganglion. They achieve bladder contraction by modulating the electrode stimulated and the frequency of stimulation. Similarly, by altering these parameters they demonstrated relaxation of the bladder in some, but not all, experimental animals.CrossRefPubMed
