Effectiveness of functional magnetic stimulation (FMS) technology on bladder contraction and bladder emptying was evaluated in twenty-two spinal cord injured subjects. FMS of the bladder was performed by stimulating the sacral nerves or the suprapubic region using a commercially available magnetic stimulator with a round coli. With sacral stimulation, the mean change in bladder pressure (Pves) was 24.4 +/- 4.88 cm H2O; with suprapubic stimulation, the mean change in Pves was 16.5 +/- 4.44 cm H2O. The change in Pves with sacral stimulation was higher than with suprapubic stimulation (p < .01). Seventeen subjects demonstrated voiding, either with sacral or suprapubic stimulation. Using a water-cooled coli, one subject demonstrated complete bladder emptying. FMS of the bladder has the potential to be a useful non-invasive technology for bladder emptying and bladder training in patients with neurogenic bladders.
