Functional magnetic resonance imaging confirmed that sacral neuromodulation influences brain activity in women with overactive bladder who responded to therapy. These changes varied with stimulus intensity.
Overactive bladder is a complex diagnosis with many underlying, contributing urological pathologies. It should be considered a symptom complex and not a syndrome. Knowledge of the differential diagnosis in men with overactive bladder symptoms would hopefully provide clinicians with a diagnostic rubric to more specifically treat such patients with improved success.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
