Treatment of Refractory Urge Urinary Incontinence with Sacral Spinal Nerve Stimulation in Multiple Sclerosis Patients
Lancet 348:717-719, Bosch,J.L.&Broen,J., 1996
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
The number of leakage episodes decreased from a mean of 4 to 0.3 per 24 h. Two patients were completely dry.The hyperreflexia disappeared in one, improved in two,and got worse in one patient.The urodynamic result in the last patient may be explained by clinical progression of the multiple sclerosis.Chronic stimulation of the S3 sacral spinal nerve by an implantable neuroprosthesis is a promising treatment option for selected multiple sclerosis patients with refractory urge incontinence.
