Average bladder contraction amplitude (A), bladder contraction AUC (B), and voiding efficiency (C) in cat during voiding trials between distention evoked control and DPeriN 2 Hz burst stimulation during intact, motor transection, and complete (sensory and motor) transection conditions. (A) Bladder contraction amplitude evoked by artificial phasic stimulation was significantly larger than distention controls in both the intact and bilateral pudendal motor transection conditions. Phasic stimulation evoked increase in bladder contraction amplitude was abolished after complete bilateral pudendal transection (motor and sensory). (B) Artificial phasic stimulation did not significantly decrease bladder contraction AUC compared to distention controls in intact, bilateral pudendal motor transection, and complete bilateral pudendal transection (motor and sensory) conditions. (C) Artificial phasic stimulation significantly increased % voiding efficiency compared to distention controls in both the intact and bilateral pudendal motor transection conditions. Phasic stimulation evoked increase in % voiding efficiency was abolished after complete bilateral pudendal transection (motor and sensory).
