Abstract
A new method for quantitating bladder sensibility by a semi-objective test is described. Constant current square wave impulses are transmitted to the urinary bladder. To illustrate the correlation between clinical findings and measured bladder perception threshold a material of 189 patients has been selected at random and divided into normosensitive, suspected hyposensitive and definite non-sensitive bladders.
It is discussed which mechanism is responsible for electrical sensory perception.
Finally, it is proposed that the test is used in routine urodynamic investigation, but it is especially indicated in patients suffering from diseases with peripheral neuropathy.
