More than 100,000 people worldwide have received InterStim Therapy. It’s a proven treatment option for people who have not had success with, or could not tolerate, other treatments for their bladder control problems.
What Is InterStim Therapy?
InterStim Therapy is a proven neuromodulation therapy that targets the communication problem between the brain and the nerves that control the bladder. If those nerves are not communicating correctly, the bladder will not function properly.
After talking with your doctor to see if InterStim therapy is right for you, you may decide to try InterStim Therapy by going through an evaluation. Based on the outcome of the evaluation, you and your doctor will determine the next steps for your treatment.
InterStim Therapy was created by Medtronic, and over 100,000 people worldwide have received InterStim Therapy. It has been FDA-approved since 1997 for urge incontinence and since 1999 for urinary retention and urgency-frequency. InterStim Therapy is not intended for patients with a urinary blockage.
How Does InterStim Therapy Work?
InterStim Therapy works with the sacral nerves, located near the tailbone. The sacral nerves control the bladder and muscles related to urinary function.
