Improved longevity and efficacy of sacral nerve stimulation by simple adjustments at follow‐up

Sacral nerve stimulation (SNS) for faecal incontinence (FI) at subsensory amplitudes as low as 50% of the sensory threshold has been found to be effective at 3 months’ follow‐up. Furthermore, alternative pacemaker settings may improve functional outcome in patients with suboptimal treatment efficacy. In this work we aim to explore if sub‐sensory stimulation as low as 50% of sensory threshold is effective at 1‐year follow‐up. We also aimed to investigate if 31 Hz (frequency) or 90 µs (pulse width) stimulation improved treatment efficacy in dissatisfied patients.
