OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to determine whether a short-term repeated stimulation of tibial nerve afferents induces a prolonged modulation effect on the micturition reflex in a decorticated rat model.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: Fifteen female Sprague-Dawley rats (250-350 g) were fully decorticated and paralyzed in the study. Tibial nerve stimulation (TNS) was delivered by inserting two pairs of needle electrodes close to the nerves at the level of the medial malleolus. Constant flow cystometries (0.07 mL/min) at approximately ten-minute intervals were performed, and the micturition threshold volume (MTV) was recorded and used as a dependent variable. After four to five stable recordings, the tibial nerves of both sides were stimulated continuously for five minutes at 10 Hz and at an intensity of three times the threshold for α-motor axons. Six same stimulations were applied repeatedly, with an interval of five minutes between each stimulation. Mean MTV was calculated on the basis of several cystometries in each half-hour period before, during, and after the six repeated TNS.
RESULTS: During the experiment, all the animals survived in good condition with relatively stable micturition reflexes, and a significant increase in MTV was detected after TNS. The strongest effect (mean = 178%) was observed during the first 30 minutes after six repeated stimulations. This obvious threshold increase remained for at least five hours.
CONCLUSIONS: A prolonged poststimulation modulatory effect on the micturition reflex was induced by short-term repeated TNS in decorticated rats. This study provides a theoretical explanation for the clinical benefit of TNS in patients with overactive bladder and suggests decorticated rats as a promising model for further investigation of the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying the bladder inhibitory response induced by TNS.
