Sensory evoked potentials of the bladder and urethra in middle‐aged women: the effect of age

Abstract: ObjectivesTo investigate feasibility, reproducibility and age dependency of sensory evoked cortical potentials (SEPs) after electrical stimulation of different locations in the lower urinary tract (LUT) in a cohort of middle-aged healthy women. Subjects and MethodsIn a group of 10 healthy middle-aged women [mean (SD) height 165 (5) cm and age 43 (6) years), electrical stimulation (0.5 and 3 Hz) was applied to the bladder dome, trigone, and proximal and distal urethra. SEPs were recorded at the Cz electrode wit… Show more

“…CPTs from the bd were found to be consistently higher compared to other sites, which is in agreement with previous studies, including our own findings from women . An explanation for this finding might be the less dense and more unequal distribution of the suburothelial sensory nerve plexus, which is supposed to be particularly prominent at the bladder base and neck but relatively sparse at the bd .…”

“…Similar to previous results from healthy women, slow ES revealed typical LUTSEPs with a v‐shaped waveform and clearly detectable components resulting in high responder rates, specifically when using the semiautomatic peak detection approach. Using fast ES, however, LUTSEP components were less consistent and more difficult to detect resulting in low responder rates .…”

“…Identifiable LUTSEPs comprising a set of three components as described previously, that is, P1, N1, and P2, with good agreement between odd and even waveforms and corresponding latencies falling into the time intervals of 40‐110 ms, 90‐170 ms, and 150‐330 ms for P1, N1, and P2, respectively (Figure A). These intervals were determined based on the peak latencies of the group means under co‐consideration of the individual trajectories in the overlaid SEPs from 12 subjects across all five stimulated LUT locations.…”
