Randomized trial evaluates patient discomfort with sacral neuromodulation device, indicating potential challenges for leaner individuals.

This study evaluates patients' perspectives on the physical burden of the implantable pulse generator used in sacral neuromodulation therapy.
Reviewed 100 consecutive patients who underwent SNM in the past 2 years.
Collected data through follow-up visits or phone interviews using a five-question survey.
Analyzed responses descriptively with statistical testing using SPSS version 29.
Sixty-two percent of patients reported awareness of the IPG, with 18% experiencing sleep or movement limitations.
Thirty-six percent reported discomfort related to activities, with 11% deactivating the device for non-MRI reasons.
Male patients were more likely to deactivate the device (P=0.014), and those with lower BMI reported greater discomfort.

Mansour et al. (2026) studied this question.
