No pudendal-anal reflex was observed in subjects 5, 8, 10, 11, or 14. Subject 4 demonstrated symptoms of autonomic dysreflexia, due to filling the bladder during urodynamics, before collecting data on effectiveness of GNS. In subject 4 GNS was applied with the bladder empty and no AD occurred at 35 mA, and therefore sensation and tolerance data were collected.
