Comparison of motor and sensory thresholds for sacral neuromodulation

Recruiting

Participants in this research study are people who are considering or already receiving therapy using sacral nerve modulation (a treatment that sends electrical impulses to nerves in the lower back). In this research we are measuring brief responses to stimulation that is delivered using this therapy. With our research we are hoping to improve the therapy in the future. We expect that people would be in this research study for only a 20 minutes.
