Anne Pelletier Cameron, MD, on neuromodulation options for OAB

In this video, Anne Pelletier Cameron, MD, FRCSC, FPMRS, provides a summary of a talk she gave at the 2025 Desai Sethi Urology Institute Urology on the Beach meeting titled “Updated Neuromodulation Techniques: What Are the Optimal Results?” Cameron is the James Montie Legacy Professor of Urology at the University of Michigan and Associate Chair of Quality and Safety and Service Chief for the Department of Urology, and director of the Clinical Urology Research Endeavor.

Transcription:

Neuromodulation has really taken off in the OAB space and in the urology world. Right now, there is so much research going on on what is the optimal nerve to stimulate and how best to stimulate that nerve. You can stimulate that nerve percutaneously; that is, with a needle through the skin. Or, there are implantable devices that can be implanted on the nerve, or sub fascially, really close to the nerve. People are also using battery devices, so devices that keep a charge and need to be replaced, but there are also devices that don't have a battery and require an external stimulator. So we have all of those variations now existing for both sacral neuromodulation and tibial neuromodulation. And also, there is new technology emerging for skin stimulation of the perineum that is just recently evolving to help control OAB symptoms.
