How sacral neuromodulation affects the autonomic nervous system
Official title: Evaluation of Autonomic Nervous System Changes in Response to Stimulation by Sacral Neuromodulation
Run by University Hospital, Lille · NCT06434831 · Data updated 2026-11-12
We will test whether sacral neuromodulation changes autonomic nervous system activity in adults with overactive bladder who are undergoing a two-stage SNM implant.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (age ≥18) with overactive bladder who are candidates for a two-stage sacral neuromodulation implant and can undergo general anesthesia are the ideal participants.
✕Probably not a fit
People who recently had tibial nerve stimulation or sacral neuromodulation, recent intradetrusor botulinum toxin, pregnant individuals, or those under guardianship are unlikely to qualify and may not benefit from the study's findings.

What this trial studies
Adults with overactive bladder scheduled for a two-stage sacral neuromodulation implant at CHU de Lille will undergo urodynamic testing and autonomic measurements including heart rate variability before and during device stimulation. The study uses commercial InterStim X or InterStim Micro devices and records physiological responses under standardized general anesthesia with remifentanil and propofol to characterize ANS changes linked to stimulation. Investigators will compare urodynamic parameters and autonomic signals to identify patterns associated with clinical response. The aim is to develop a predictive tool to help determine which patients are likely to benefit from SNM.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the study could help predict who will respond to sacral neuromodulation and reduce unnecessary implants.
How similar studies have gone: Small physiologic studies have suggested SNM can alter autonomic measures such as heart rate variability, but leveraging these signals as a reliable predictive tool remains largely unproven.
