Evaluation of Urinary Nerve Growth Factor as an Objective Tool to Assess Therapeutic Outcome in Patients With Detrusor Overactivity Undergoing Treatment With Sacral Neuromodulation
The purpose of this study is to find a noninvasive test to help physicians diagnose detrusor
overactivity (DO), to use this urine test to help diagnose bladder problems, determine if
treatments are working, and determine if patients are good candidates for interventions like
sacral neuromodulation/Interstim Therapy.
