Neuromodulazione Sacrale (NMS)

Terapia di provata efficacia nell’incontinenza urinaria, e di efficacia promettente, secondo studi in fase di definizione, anche come trattamento dell’incontinenza fecale, del dolore perineale cronico, di disturbi espulsivi uro- e proctologici, anche in soggetti mielolesi e affetti da neuropatologie organiche (Vedi PNE).
