Pelvic Floor Muscle Electromyography as a Guiding Tool During Lead Placement and (Re)Programming in Sacral Neuromodulation Patients: Validity, Reliability, and Feasibility of the Technique

ConclusionsMeasuring PFM contractions with EMG during placement and (re)programming of lead electrodes in SNM patients is valid, reliable, and feasible. Therefore, the use of PFM EMG motor responses could be considered as a tool to assist in these procedures.
