Brief summary

Overactive bladder syndrome (OAB) is defined by urgent and frequent urges to urinate associated with frequent night-time urination and sometimes urinary incontinence. Sacral neuromodulation (SNM) is now one of the second-line treatments for OAB. The mode of action of SNM is still poorly understood but a number of data from recent scientific literature suggest that SNM may act, among other things, by altering the balance of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) - located at the interface between the urinary tract and the brain structures regulating the functioning of the urinary tract. The aim of this study would therefore be to develop a predictive tool for the effectiveness of SNM.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Comparison of HFVI analysed through HRV at baseline and during standardized stimulation protocol randomly delivered at the level of the 4contact points of the quadripolar lead at the time of lead implantation between the effective and noneffective groups1 yearComparison of HFVI (high frequence variability index) analysed through heart rate variability (HRV) at baseline and during a standardized stimulation protocol (14 Hz, 210 mcs, amplitude to elicit anal motor response) randomly delivered at the level of the 4 contact points of the quadripolar lead at the time of lead implantation, between the effective and non-effective groups.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
SDNN (Standard Deviation of all normal-to-normal RR intervals (milliseconds)) and RMSSD (Root Mean Square of Successive Differences between normal-to-normal RR intervals (milliseconds)) at baseline and during standardized electrical stimulation1 yearComparison of time-domain heart rate variability parameters at baseline and during a standardized electrical stimulation protocol (14 Hz, 210 µs, amplitude to elicit anal motor response) randomly delivered at the level of the four contact points of the quadripolar lead at the time of lead implantation.
LF (Low-Frequency power of heart rate variability (ms²)) and HF (High-Frequency power of heart rate variability (ms²)) components of heart rate variability at baseline and during standardized electrical stimulation1 yearComparison of frequency-domain heart rate variability parameters at baseline and during a standardized electrical stimulation protocol (14 Hz, 210 µs, amplitude to elicit anal motor response) randomly delivered at the level of the four contact points of the quadripolar lead at the time of lead implantation.
