Information was received from a patient who was implanted with an implantable neurostimulator (ins) for gastrointestinal/pelvic floor and urinary dysfunction/sacral nerve stim.It was reported that for the last 2-3 months they experienced a loss of therapeutic benefit.The patient said they were bed wetting and going through at least 3 nighttime pads because they couldn't hold it anymore.The patient mentioned they were taking a medication as well, but that wasn't helping either.A couple of days ago the patient increased the amplitude on program 1 from 1.5 ma to 1.6 ma, but they didn't feel any stimulation.The patient mentioned that they just had hip surgery and were numbed "down there," so they wondered if that was why they couldn't feel stimulation.Agent reviewed stimulation expectations and considerations for therapy optimization.The patient decided to increase the amplitude and confirmed they felt comfortable stimulation.The patient will maintain stimulation level and continue to monitor symptoms.
