What Are the Types of Neuromodulation Techniques Used in Gynecology?
There are several types of neuromodulation techniques used in gynecology:
Sacral Nerve Stimulation (SNS): Involves the implantation of a small device that sends electrical impulses to the sacral nerves, which control bladder and pelvic floor muscles. Percutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation (PTNS): A less invasive method that involves electrical stimulation of the tibial nerve near the ankle to improve bladder function. Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS): Uses surface electrodes to deliver electrical impulses through the skin, often used for pain management.
