Suppression of Urinary Voiding by Conditional High Frequency Stimulation of the Pelvic Nerve in Conscious Rats

Abstract

Female Wistar rats were instrumented to record bladder pressure and to stimulate the left pelvic nerve. Repeated voids were induced by continuous infusion of saline into the bladder (11.2 ml/h) via a T-piece in the line to the bladder catheter. In each animal tested (n = 6) high frequency pelvic nerve stimulation (1-3 kHz, 1-2 mA sinusoidal waveform for 60 s) applied within 2 s of the onset of a sharp rise in bladder pressure signaling an imminent void was able to inhibit micturition. Voiding was modulated in three ways: (1) Suppression of voiding (four rats, n = 13 trials). No fluid output or a very small volume of fluid expelled (<15% of the volume expected based on the mean of the previous 2 or 3 voids). Voiding suppressed for the entirety of the stimulation period (60 s) and resumed within 37 s of stopping stimulation. (2) Void deferred (four rats, n = 6 trials). The imminent void was suppressed (no fluid expelled) but a void occurred later in the stimulation period (12-44 s, mean 24.5 ± 5.2 s after the onset of the stimulation). (3) Reduction in voided volume (five rats, n = 20 trials). Voiding took place but the volume of fluid voided was 15-80% (range 21.8-77.8%, mean 45.3 ± 3.6%) of the volume expected from the mean of ...Continue Reading
