1. What is Axonics® Therapy?
Axonics Therapy, also referred to as Sacral Neuromodulation, is an advanced bladder and bowel control treatment that can help reduce the symptoms of overactive bladder, bowel incontinence, and urinary retention. The therapy works by helping restore normal communication between your brain and your bladder and/or bowel.
2. How does Axonics Sacral Neuromodulation Therapy work?
Axonics Sacral Neuromodulation Therapy provides gentle stimulation to the nerves that control the bladder and bowel. The stimulation can help restore normal communication between the brain and the bladder and/or bowel, which can result in an improvement of your overactive bladder, bowel incontinence, and urinary retention symptoms.
3. Will Axonics Therapy cure my symptoms?
Axonics Therapy is not a cure, but it is a long-term therapy that may provide significant relief of your symptoms.
4. How do I know if Axonics Therapy is right for me?
Axonics Therapy is a safe and effective treatment, indicated for people suffering from overactive bladder, bowel incontinence, and/or urinary retention who have not found relief with previous treatments. Seek advice from your doctor to see whether Axonics Therapy is right for you.
5. Will this therapy help with my stress incontinence?
6. What makes Axonics Therapy different from other options?
Axonics Sacral Neuromodulation Therapy is a long-lasting treatment option for overactive bladder, bowel incontinence, and urinary retention. Sacral Neuromodulation is the only advanced therapy shown in a clinical study to produce greater symptom reductions and improvements in quality of life than oral medication. Another advantage is that there is a 14-day trial period to ensure Axonics Therapy is right for you. At the end of the trial period, you and your doctor can decide what your next treatment steps are.
7. How long does the relief last?
Axonics Therapy provides the choice between rechargeable or recharge-free systems. The Axonics F15 Recharge-Free System lasts for 10 to 20 years. The Axonics R15 Rechargeable System is designed to last 15 years or more.
