Study of Electroencephalogram (EEG) Measurement During Different Stimulations of the Lower Urinary Tract

July 19, 2019 updated by: Ulrich Mehnert

Investigation of Lower Urinary Tract Afferent and Cortical Brain Activity During Lower Urinary Tract Stimulation Using Electroencephalogram Measurements

The purpose of this study is to investigate afferent and cortical activities during bladder filling under different stimulations of the lower urinary tract. The participants of the study are healthy test persons and patients with overactive bladder.
