Case Reports
Neuroselective current perception threshold evaluation of bladder mucosal sensory function.
To evaluate human bladder mucosal sensory function by neuroselective Current Perception Threshold (CPT) measures from healthy and neuropathic bladders. ⋯ Quantitative neuroselective measurement of CPT values in the human bladder mucosal function was feasible. Hypersensitivity or hyposensitivity of the urinary sensory function could be determined using the CPT values in comparison to control. The quantitative neuroselective estimation of the bladder sensory functions in different types of sensory peripheral nerve fibers may contribute to the appropriate selection of therapeutic strategy in patients with urinary sensory dysfunction.
