- Sacral nerve stimulation is a type of neuromodulation therapy that involves delivering mild electrical impulses to the sacral nerves to regulate bladder, bowel, and pelvic floor functions. It is increasingly being used as a first-line intervention for patients with overactive bladder (OAB), fecal incontinence, and chronic pelvic pain, especially in cases unresponsive to conventional treatments.
- The increasing aging population and rising awareness of pelvic health disorders, coupled with favorable reimbursement scenarios in key markets such as the U.S., Germany, and Japan, are significantly contributing to the adoption of SNS devices.
- Technological advancements, including rechargeable implants, MRI-compatible devices, and wireless patient programmers, are improving therapeutic outcomes and patient comfort, thereby driving product demand.
- Companies are focusing on developing smaller, longer-lasting devices with improved battery life and remote programming capabilities, expanding the scope of treatment into outpatient and home-care settings.
