Neuromodulation Therapy (Axonics and InterStim)

How Does Axonics/InterStim Therapy Work?

Axonics/InterStim Therapy is the latest technology for incontinence treatment, providing long-lasting relief for up to 20 years. This therapy delivers gentle electrical stimulation to the nerves that control the bladder and bowel, helping to restore normal function and improve symptoms.

The Evaluation Step:

Before committing to long-term therapy, you will undergo a short trial using a temporary system. This evaluation period allows you to experience the level of symptom relief the therapy may offer, helping you and your doctor decide if it’s right for you.

Long-Term Therapy:

If you and your doctor agree that Axonics/InterStim Therapy is suitable for you, a miniaturized implant will be placed just beneath the skin in the upper part of your buttock during an outpatient procedure.

Who is a Good Candidate for Axonics/InterStim Therapy?

The decision to pursue Axonics/InterStim Therapy depends on you and your healthcare provider. This therapy is approved for patients suffering from the following conditions:

  • Overactive Bladder (OAB): The urgent need to urinate, often leading to frequent urination and/or incontinence episodes.
  • Urinary Frequency: Needing to urinate 8 or more times a day, which may or may not be associated with urgency.
  • Urinary Urgency Incontinence (UUI): The urgent need to urinate, with trouble holding urine until reaching the restroom.
  • Fecal (Bowel) Incontinence: Involuntary loss of stool, which may or may not be associated with urgency.
  • Nonobstructive Urinary Retention (UR): Inability to completely empty the bladder, resulting in difficulty urinating or frequent small voids.

Axonics/InterStim Therapy is typically recommended for patients who have not found relief through conservative treatments, such as lifestyle changes, physical therapy, or medications.
