The standard percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) protocol uses maximal-tolerance stimulation and causes discomfort and other side effects. This study aimed to optimize stimulation intensity using a motion capture (MoCap) system, thereby enhancing therapy safety and personalization.</div></div><div><h3>Materials and Methods</h3><div>In a single short-term stimulation session, the stimulator was fixed to the cat’s (four males and four females) medial malleolus and the inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensor to the ipsilateral paw dorsum. Threshold intensity T was established conventionally by visual observation of toe flexion, and t was established through MoCap. The effects of PTNS on the micturition reflex were assessed using serial cystometrograms (CMGs) during infusion of normal saline (NS) or acetic acid (AA).</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>During NS infusion, PTNS at 2T increased bladder capacity (BC) to 143.60% ± 4.96% of control (9.89 ± 3.20 mL) and at 2t increased it to 143.10% ± 5.81% (both <em>p</em> < 0.01). During AA infusion, BC decreased to 56.43% ± 1.59% of control (<em>p</em> < 0.01); subsequent PTNS at 2T and at 2t restored it to 77.99% ± 4.80% and 78.08% ± 4.65%, respectively (both <em>p</em> < 0.01). MoCap t was significantly lower than T (<em>p</em> < 0.05). Both intensities prolonged contraction duration relative to the AA group (<em>p</em> < 0.05), whereas contraction amplitude and area under the curve did not differ among conditions (<em>p</em> > 0.05). Angular velocity and linear acceleration across all three orthogonal axes showed moderately to highly significant positive correlations with stimulation intensity.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><div>The IMU-based MoCap system used angular velocity and linear acceleration as measures and identified a markedly lower stimulation threshold that produced therapeutic outcomes equivalent to conventional protocols. Although this single-session short-term study differs from standard longitudinal clinical application, this approach reduces stimulation intensity and may enable safer and more individualized PTNS for OAB.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19152,"journal":{"name":"Neuromodulation","volume":"29 7","pages":"Pages 1292-1299"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148674015","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Conventional treatment fails in a significant proportion of the patient population, and pacing is a promising alternative therapy. However, the correlation between slow waves and contractions during pacing remains unexplored. Therefore, this study simultaneously mapped contractile and slow wave responses in high-resolution during pacing to elucidate their relationship and therapeutic implications.</div></div><div><h3>Materials and Methods</h3><div>Electrical and contractile activity were measured simultaneously in the jejunum of seven pigs in vivo. After a baseline session, pacing was applied at 10-second intervals with a pulse amplitude of 8 mA and pulse widths of either 100 or 400 milliseconds. Slow wave and contractile responses were quantified by the propagation pattern and strain.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>Pacing spatially entrained the slow wave activity, generating a radial pacemaker propagation pattern with a success of 89% at both the energy levels, and induced a localized ring contraction at the pacing site in response to each pacing pulse. Induced contractions had mean contractile strains of −0.15 ± 0.04 and −0.19 ± 0.05 when paced at 100 milliseconds and 400 milliseconds, respectively.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><div>This study defined the spatial response of slow wave activity during pacing, while mapping contractile activity. Slow waves propagated radially in a pacemaker pattern, whereas contractions remained localized. This insight into electrophysiologic modulation during pacing warrants further investigation. These findings are significant because they correlate the electrical and mechanical responses during intestinal pacing and will help optimize pacing techniques as a novel therapy for motility disorders.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19152,"journal":{"name":"Neuromodulation","volume":"29 7","pages":"Pages 1146-1154"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144962520","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
