Summary
This study aims to collect electrical signals from the body in people with overactive bladder, fecal incontinence, or urinary retention who are receiving sacral neuromodulation therapy. Researchers will gather data at several time points during the evaluation period to better understand how the therapy affects nerve signals. The study involves 300 participants and is currently recruiting.
