Using the Native Afferent Nervous System to Sense Bladder Fullness: State of the Art

Current Bladder Dysfunction Reports
Lauren E TennysonChristopher J Chermansky

Abstract

The regulation of micturition involves complex neurophysiologic pathways, and its understanding has grown immensely over the past decade. Alternative approaches and applied technologies in the treatment of bladder dysfunction have minimized the complications that result from neurogenic bladder. The use of natural bladder mechanoreceptors and electroneneurographic (ENG) signal recordings from afferent nerves to chronically monitor bladder volume is a promising concept, but the technology to accomplish this has proven to be a great biomedical engineering challenge. The focus of this paper will be to describe the current state of ENG signal recording as a method to detect bladder fullness.
