Abstract
The threshold of sensitivity to electrical stimulation was determined in several parts of the lower urinary tract in 436 consecutive patients. In the groups with different patterns of disturbed sensation a higher incidence of neuropathy was found than in the group with a normal sensation. Further neurological investigation revealed abnormal innervation in 29% of patients who lacked electrosensitivity in one or more parts of the lower urinary tract but who had shown no previous evidence of neuropathy.Keywords
