The e-course explores the landscape of neuromodulation in managing LUTS through a detailed examination of various facets. Beginning with an exploration of terminology and distinguishing between different types of nerve stimulation for LUTS, the course delves into the nuances between nerve stimulation and neuromodulation.
Throughout its chapters, learners will uncover the evolution of Sacral Neuromodulation (SNM) technology, understanding its mechanisms of action, and the critical factors involved in patient selection. Following this, the course navigates through the European Association of Urology (EAU) treatment guidelines, emphasizing patient assessment and dissecting clinical trial results to provide a comprehensive view.
Chapters are dedicated to the procedural aspects, detailing how SNM procedures are performed, while also addressing adverse events, standardization of programming, and troubleshooting strategies. Additionally, the course covers alternative techniques such as posterior tibial nerve stimulation and investigates emerging neuromodulation therapies for LUTS, providing a forward-looking perspective on potential future advancements in this field.
