Review of the rechargeable sacral neuromodulation system to treat refractory overactive bladder. [2021]Overactive bladder is a medical condition that requires management. If left untreated, it may severely affect quality of life. When first- and second-line treatments fail, sacral neuromodulation can be a safe and effective option for patients with refractory overactive bladder. This article reviews the rechargeable sacral neuromodulation (Axonics).
Two-year outcomes of the ARTISAN-SNM study for the treatment of urinary urgency incontinence using the Axonics rechargeable sacral neuromodulation system. [2021]Sacral neuromodulation (SNM) is a guideline-recommended treatment with proven therapeutic benefit for urinary urgency incontinence (UUI) patients. The Axonics® System is the first Food and Drug Administration-approved rechargeable SNM system and is designed to deliver therapy for a minimum of 15 years. The ARTISAN-SNM study was designed to evaluate UUI participants treated with the Axonics System. Two-year follow-up results are presented.
One-year outcomes of the ARTISAN-SNM study with the Axonics System for the treatment of urinary urgency incontinence. [2020]Sacral neuromodulation (SNM) is a guideline-recommended treatment for voiding dysfunction including urgency, urge incontinence, and nonobstructive retention as well as fecal incontinence. The Axonics® System is a miniaturized, rechargeable SNM system designed to provide therapy for at least 15 years, which is expected to significantly reduce revision surgeries as it will not require replacement as frequently as the non-rechargeable SNM system. The ARTISAN-SNM study is a pivotal study designed to treat patients with urinary urgency incontinence (UUI). Clinical results at 1-year are presented.

Axonics® system for treatment of overactive bladder syndrome and urinary urgency incontinence. [2021]Introduction: Overactive bladder and urge urinary incontinence affect millions of women and men and results in billions of dollars in health-care expenses. First- and second-line therapy includes behavioral modifications and/or pharmacotherapies however, many patients' symptoms remain or progress on these treatments. There has been concern regarding the detrimental side effects of the most widely prescribed medications for these bladder symptom management.Areas covered: As a result, there has been increased interest in continuous sacral neuromodulation, an FDA approved therapy for refractory urinary urgency and urge urinary incontinence. In this article, we specifically review current research on the efficacy and patient/provider satisfaction and safety profile of the Axonics® System. In addition, we address the current state of sacral neuromodulation and potential future direction and applicability.Expert opinion: The Axonics® system is a safe effective device for the treatment of overactive bladder and urinary urge incontinence. Additionally, it affords patient's the convenience of a rechargeable, compact, MRI safe system. It should be noted that the rechargeable system, while allowing for approximately 15 years of battery and lead life, may have its challenges in terms of charge burden. Furthermore, this system is easily adapted for experienced implanters of sacral neuromodulating devices.
Two-year safety and efficacy outcomes for the treatment of overactive bladder using a long-lived rechargeable sacral neuromodulation system. [2020]Sacral neuromodulation (SNM) therapy for overactive bladder (OAB) has proven long-term safety and efficacy. Historically, the only commercially available SNM device was nonrechargeable requiring replacement surgery due to battery depletion. The Axonics System is the first rechargeable SNM device and is qualified to last a minimum of 15 years in the body. The study objective was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of this rechargeable SNM system. This study reports 2-year outcomes.
Initial experience using the Axonics sacral neuromodulation system in patients with multiple sclerosis. [2022]Sacral neuromodulation (SNM) is third-line therapy approved for urge urinary incontinence (UUI) and urgency, and nonobstructive urinary retention. Multiple sclerosis (MS) patients often suffer from neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD). The utility of SNM in the MS population is limited by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) incompatibility as routine MRIs to evaluate for disease progression are required. The Axonics System is the first Food and Drug Administration-approved SNM device that is 1.5/3 T full-body MRI-conditionally safe. This study seeks to investigate the symptomatic improvement in MS patients after implantation of the Axonics System.
[Sacral neuromodulation for refractory overactive bladder]. [2019]Sacral neuromodulation (SNM) is a minimally invasive, established treatment modality for overactive bladder (OAB) as well as for other pelvic functional disorders, such as non-obstructive urinary retention and fecal incontinence. A pacemaker implanted in the upper buttocks delivers mild electrical pulses to the sacral nerves thereby modulating pathological afferent signals from pelvic end organs. The current article conveys the current knowledge on the indications, contraindications, mechanism of action, implantation technique, efficacy and complications of SNM for the treatment refractory OAB.
